Ingredients
Radishes
- 2 bunches radishes (medium-sized, washed, dried, tops trimmed; about 1 pound trimmed)
Seasoning and Garnish
- 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
- Preheat and prepare radishes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the radishes in half lengthwise for even roasting.
- Arrange radishes in baking dish: Place the halved radishes cut side down in a single layer in a 9×13-inch rimmed baking dish to ensure they roast evenly.
- Add butter and seasoning: Drizzle the melted butter over the radishes. Sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat all radishes evenly with butter and seasoning.
- Roast the radishes: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the radishes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the radishes from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top, and serve warm as a savory side dish.
Notes
- Using Diamond Crystal kosher salt is recommended for its lighter texture and better seasoning control, but regular kosher salt or fine sea salt can be substituted.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with olive oil or a vegan butter alternative.
- Ensure radishes are dry before roasting to help them caramelize properly instead of steaming.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; roasted radishes tend to soften further if left to sit.
- This recipe pairs well with roasted meats, grilled poultry, or as part of a vegetable medley.
