Garlic Roasted Radishes (Printable Version)

Golden radishes roasted with garlic and herbs for a tender, caramelized low-carb side dish.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved

02 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

03 - 2 tbsp olive oil

04 - 1/2 tsp sea salt

05 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

06 - 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves)

07 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

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

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

03 - Spread the seasoned radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down.

04 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the radishes are golden, tender, and slightly caramelized.

05 - Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

01 -

Roasting completely transforms radishes from sharp and crunchy into something mellow, buttery, and almost potato like, and it feels like discovering a secret ingredient you already had.
This dish requires barely any effort, uses pantry staples, and pairs with practically any main course you can imagine.

02 -

Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steam instead of roast, so use two sheets if needed and give every radish half its own breathing room.
The radishes will seem firmly anchored to the parchment when you go to toss them halfway through, but a confident flip with a spatula releases them perfectly once caramelized.

03 -

Smaller radishes roast more evenly and develop better texture, so pick through the bin and choose ones that are roughly the same size.
Let the baking sheet preheat in the oven for a few minutes before adding the radishes, and you will get an incredible sear on the cut sides from the very start.
