When our friends at Good Eggs asked Neka to create an easy, tasty dish highlighting winter’s best produce, she came up with this recipe for Roasted Treviso and Escarole. Chicories are full of fiber and inulin to help reduce glucose and LDL cholesterol levels, and packed with minerals like iron, manganese, copper, and potassium, and when roasted, they caramelize into crisp, golden leaves.
