# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Roasting tames the peppery bite into something mellow and almost sweet, even for people who swear they hate radishes.
- Four ingredients and one baking sheet between you and a side dish that looks like it came from a fancy restaurant.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with soggy radishes instead of golden ones.
- A squeeze of lemon juice right after roasting brightens the entire dish in a way salt alone cannot.
03 -
- Slice larger radishes into quarters so everything finishes roasting at the same time.
- Let the baking sheet preheat in the oven for two minutes before spreading the radishes on it for an instant sear on the cut sides.
