Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 bunches radishes (medium-sized, washed, dried, tops trimmed; about 1 pound trimmed)

Seasonings & Fats

  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the radishes.
  2. Prepare Radishes: Cut the radishes in half lengthwise to ensure even roasting and tender interiors.
  3. Arrange Radishes: Place the radishes cut side down in a single layer in a 9 x 13-inch rimmed baking dish, which helps them roast evenly.
  4. Add Butter and Seasonings: Pour the melted butter over the radishes, then sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss everything gently to coat the radishes evenly.
  5. Roast: Roast the radishes in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and lightly caramelized.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted radishes from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Using kosher salt like Diamond Crystal helps season evenly without over-salting.
  • Trimming radish tops and drying them well prevents steaming and ensures better roasting.
  • Roasting time can vary slightly depending on radish size; check tenderness with a fork.
  • For a milder garlic flavor, consider using roasted garlic powder or fresh minced garlic added after roasting.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
