Roasted Lettuce, Radicchio, and Endive Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Roasted Lettuce, Radicchio, and Endive Recipe). A Sicilian grandmother taught me to make roasted lettuces this way. I like it for a change from serving cold salad. It is healthy and delicious! Most people like it served with crunchy bread. This also works very well with omelets in the morning or for brunch. Leftovers can be easily re-heated in the microwave.
