Steps
To make Radicchio gratin in the air fryer, first cut the radicchio into wedges — at least 6 — and gently wash them under cold running water. Dry them thoroughly.
Place the olive oil in a bowl or shallow dish, and on a plate prepare the breadcrumbs with salt, freshly chopped parsley and grated cheese. Mix with a fork.
Dip the radicchio wedges in the oil on all sides and then roll them in the gratin mixture. Make sure the coating adheres well on all sides. Arrange the radicchio wedges in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper, drizzle with the remaining oil and cook at 338°F for 12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
You can easily prepare this recipe in advance and cook or reheat it just before serving. I recommend serving it hot to enjoy the full crunchiness of the ingredients.

Absolutely — substituting gluten-free breadcrumbs will not compromise the recipe at all.
