Roasted Radishes Recipe

These delicious roasted radishes are a great side dish. Radishes are sharply flavored but still, delicate root vegetables that benefit from being lightly seasoned and roasted.

If you've never tried roasting radishes, you must try this recipe! No other method of preparation brings out the natural sweetness of radishes like this.

This is a great alternative side dish to roasted potatoes - it has a similar texture of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

These delicious radishes are easy to prepare. They can be used in a salad or grain bowl like any other roasted root vegetable.

Cooking radishes, especially roasting them, gives them extra flavor and eliminates the sharp bite they have when raw.

This roasted radish recipe will work with any type of radish. I use Easter radishes for this recipe because I love the mix of colors. Regular red radishes (also called cherry radishes) found at the grocery store are perfect for this recipe.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need for this easy roasted radishes recipe.

Here's what you'll need for this easy roasted radishes recipe.

• Raw Radishes - You can use any kind, but I used a mix of Easter radishes. You'll need about 1-2 bunches of radishes. Feel free to use a more unusual type of radish, like daikon or watermelon radishes, but you'll probably need to go to a farmers market to find them.
• Olive Oil - You don't need extra virgin olive oil, regular olive oil will do. 
• Seasonings - You don't need a lot of seasoning for these radishes. Sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder and ground black pepper are all you need.
• Red Pepper Flakes - If you want a bit more of a spicy flavor, add more flakes. If you're sensitive to spice, you can leave them out. 

See the recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Using a sharp knife, remove any radish greens and slice the smaller fresh radishes in half. Quarter any larger radishes.

Place the cut radishes on prepared baking sheet.

Pour the olive oil over the radishes and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat the radishes.

Spread the radishes out in a single layer, cut side down, leaving a little space between each.

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips - Make sure to cut your radishes to similar sizes. This helps them roast evenly. Also, do not crowd them onto a baking sheet - they need a little space in between them to get a crispy exterior. Use two baking sheets if you need to.

Recommended Tools - I recommend using parchment paper that's the same size as your sheet pans - this is the ready-to-use parchment paper I use and here are the sheet pans I use.

Storage

You can save roasted radishes for up to 4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.
