Garlic Roasted Radishes (Printable)

Tender radishes roasted with garlic and herbs until golden and caramelized. An easy, savory side dish ready in 35 minutes.

# 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, salt, 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 20–25 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 transforms radishes from peppery and crisp into buttery and mild, almost like tiny roasted potatoes.
Ten minutes of prep and one baking sheet means cleanup is almost nonexistent.
It works with nearly any main dish and fits into gluten free, low carb, and vegetarian diets without any adjustments.

02 -

Crowding the pan will steam the radishes instead of roasting them, so use two sheets if needed.
The radishes will look almost unchanged for the first fifteen minutes before browning suddenly and beautifully.

03 -

Pat the radishes completely dry before tossing with oil because moisture is the enemy of caramelization.
Slice larger radishes into quarters instead of halves so every piece roasts at the same rate.
