Garlic Roasted Radishes (Print View)

Crisp radishes roasted with garlic until golden and tender.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil

03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

04 - 1/2 tsp sea salt

05 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

06 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

07 - 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (omit for vegan or dairy-free)

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

02 - In a mixing bowl, toss the halved radishes with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

03 - Spread the seasoned radishes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even spacing for proper caramelization.

04 - Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the radishes are golden brown and fork-tender.

05 - Transfer the roasted radishes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.

01 -

Roasting completely tames the peppery bite of raw radishes and turns them into something buttery and mild.
The garlic caramelizes right alongside them and creates little golden crispy bits you will want to eat off the pan.

02 -

Do not skip trimming the stems and root ends because they burn before the radishes finish roasting.
A single squeeze of lemon juice right before serving brightens the entire dish in a way you will not expect.

03 -

Let the radishes sit undisturbed for the first 15 minutes before stirring because patience is what builds the golden crust.
Slice any especially large radishes into quarters so everything finishes roasting at the same time.
