Like endive, radicchio transforms when cooked. Raw, it's aggressively bitter. Air fried, the outer leaves char and become crispy-sweet while the inner leaves get tender and mellow. The balsamic glaze is the classic pairing because the sweet-tart vinegar balances whatever bitterness remains. Italian grandmothers have been grilling radicchio for centuries. The air fryer just makes it faster.
