Raw endive is bitter. Roasting it in the air fryer mellows the bitterness dramatically and brings out a nutty sweetness. The outer leaves char and caramelize while the inner core gets tender and almost creamy. If you've only had endive raw in salads, the roasted version is a completely different vegetable.
