A Savory Twist on Starchy Potatoes
Roasted radishes offer a savory alternative to starchy potatoes, turning a simple vegetable into a delicious treat. Fresh radishes are tossed in a light seasoning and roasted until they’re tender with a crispy skin and creamy interior.
This method is a fantastic way to utilize an abundance of radishes from your garden. Roasting radishes enhances their natural sweetness while the savory seasonings balance their peppery bite. You can double the recipe and enjoy these versatile radishes hot or cold throughout the week.
They make a delightful low-carb appetizer when paired with a tangy veggie dip or serve as a side dish with any protein.
What You’ll Need to Roast Radishes
- Radishes: Choose from regular pink, French, or chopped daikon radishes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Oil: A bit of oil helps the seasonings adhere and promotes caramelization.
- Seasonings: A simple mix of dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper adds flavor.
Variations
- Extra Veggies: Add halved Brussels sprouts, beets, carrots, fingerling potatoes, or zucchini slices to the roasting pan.
- Toppings: Sprinkle parmesan cheese or bacon bits on top before roasting for added flavor.
How to Roast Radishes
- Season the prepared radishes and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet (see recipe below).
- Roast until tender and then toss with melted butter before serving.
- To minimize cleanup, line the baking sheet with parchment paper and use two sheets if needed to prevent overcrowding.
- For a smoky flavor and slightly charred edges, broil the radishes for 1-2 minutes.
- Store leftover radishes in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They’re perfect in hearty vegetable soups or loaded cauliflower salads.
