Garlic Roasted Radishes with Herbs (Printable Version)

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

# What You 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 completely transforms radishes from peppery and sharp into mild, buttery, and slightly sweet little gems.
The entire recipe comes together on one pan with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
It is one of the easiest side dishes you can make, yet people always act impressed when you serve it.

02 -

Cut side down is not a suggestion, it is the difference between browning and blandness.
Tossing them halfway through roasting prevents the garlic from burning on one side while the other side stays pale.

03 -

Shop for radishes that feel heavy for their size with smooth, unblemished skin because spongy or cracked radishes will not roast well no matter what you do.
Let the baking sheet sit in the oven during preheat so the radishes hit a hot surface the moment they go in.
