Garlic Roasted Radishes (Printable)

Tender radishes roasted with garlic and herbs, creating a savory caramelized side dish with mild buttery flavor.

# What You'll 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, sea salt, black pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.

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

04 - Roast for 20 to 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. Serve warm.

01 -

Roasting tames the sharp bite of raw radishes into something mellow and almost sweet, and you will wonder where this side dish has been your whole life.
It is genuinely a five minute prep situation that makes you look like you put in far more effort than you actually did.

02 -

Do not crowd the pan because steaming is the enemy of caramelization and you will end up with soggy radishes instead of golden ones.
Tossing halfway through is not optional since the radishes on the edges cook faster and you want everything evenly done.

03 -

Slice the radishes into uniform halves so they all finish cooking at the same time and you avoid the mix of mushy and crunchy.
Let the baking sheet preheat in the oven for two minutes before adding the radishes to get an immediate sear on the cut sides.
