Air Fryer Belgian Endive Gratin, a great side dish that is prepared very quickly with very few ingredients that we all have at home. It is a simple yet tasty side dish, perfect to accompany a meat or fish main course.
Endive can be prepared in various ways: in a pan, on the grill, in the oven, but I find that cooking it this way is very good because the breadcrumb coating softens its typical bitter taste. To make this dish more flavorful, I added speck, which becomes very crispy, but if you prefer, you can also skip it.
I use this air fryer with dual resistance and Wi-Fi connection. Also, check out all my AIR FRYER recipes.

How to Prepare Air Fryer Belgian Endive Gratin
After washing the Belgian endive, cut it in half and place it in a baking dish, I used a parchment paper one.
Add salt, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, speck, and a spray of olive oil. Finish with a pinch of dried oregano and cook in the air fryer at 338°F for 8 minutes, then increase the temperature to 356°F for another 3 minutes.
Serve the gratin endive hot.
