Grilled endive is a simple yet flavorful dish that highlights the natural bitterness and tenderness of this leafy vegetable. Originating from Belgian cuisine, where endive is a beloved ingredient, grilling imparts a slight smokiness that balances its natural sharpness. This dish typically involves halving fresh endives, lightly brushing them with olive oil, and grilling until caramelized and tender. Rich in fiber, vitamins A and K, and antioxidants, endives are a nutrient-dense choice that supports digestive health and immune function. When prepared with heart-healthy fats like olive oil and minimal added seasoning, grilled endive is both low in calories and free of unhealthy additives. However, if topped with creamy dressings or rich cheeses, the calorie count may rise. Ideal as a side dish or salad topper, grilled endive merges health benefits with elegant flavor and versatility.
