   Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F.

   Begin by halving the radicchio lengthwise through the core. Then, lay the halves on a cutting board with the cut side facing down. Proceed to slice each half into four wedges while ensuring the root end remains connected to keep the wedges intact.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, gently combine the radicchio with olive oil, vinegar, rosemary leaves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a generous amount of pepper. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
