Ingredients
- 1 bunch radishes (greens and ends removed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and move the oven rack to the middle position to ensure even roasting.
- Prepare the radishes: Cut the radishes into equal-sized pieces. Large radishes should be quartered, while smaller ones can be halved for consistent cooking.
- Toss with oil and seasoning: Place the cut radishes in a baking dish and toss them evenly with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them cut-side down to promote nice browning.
- Roast the radishes: Roast small radishes for about 15 minutes, checking doneness to your preference. Larger radishes require 35-40 minutes for tender crispness. Typical cooking time is around 30 minutes.
- Finish and serve: Once roasted, toss the radishes with freshly chopped parsley if using, then serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Roasting time varies depending on radish size; adjust accordingly for tenderness.
- For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Using radishes cut-side down enhances caramelization and flavor.
- The recipe is naturally gluten-free and low calorie.
