Hi friends! I have to tell you…side dishes are NOT my favorite thing to cook. I don’t mind cooking the main component of a meal, such as the chicken, meatloaf, pork tenderloin etc. but when it comes to the side dishes, I typically just steam a bag of frozen veggies and call it a day. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but my kids are starting to get tired of the same broccoli/carrot/cauliflower blend we normally have and to be honest, I am too.
So, it’s time to mix things up! Some of you are probably thinking that it’s a little odd to roast radishes but, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! Roasting them really mellows out the sharp “radish-y” taste and I like to use them in place of red potatoes.
I prefer my roasted radishes to be slightly crisp and have a bit of a char on them. In order to achieve this, they need to be cut into small pieces. Depending on the size of the radish, that means cutting it in quarters (possibly even smaller).
I tried seasoning these with ALL kinds of different herbs and spices but I kept coming back to just salt and pepper! The radishes are so tasty on their own that I didn’t feel like they needed more than that. You could easily sprinkle some rosemary or thyme on them though.
When it comes to actually roasting the radishes, they need to have plenty of room on the baking sheet. If they’re too crowded they’ll end up steamed instead of roasted.
The end product is a perfect little side dish! Hope you enjoy!
