Why this recipe works
Bitter leaves with gentle sweetness
Two small vegetable sides. Radicchio stays bitter after roasting; honey balances it but does not turn it into a sweet salad. A little core holds leaves together during cooking.

Mix and season
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Roast wedges in a shallow dish about 8 minutes at 170 °C, turning gently once. Break walnuts coarsely and mix honey with lemon juice. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.
