Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds radishes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the radishes evenly and developing a beautiful caramelized exterior.
- Prepare the radishes: Using a sharp knife, slice smaller radishes in half and quarter any larger ones to create uniformly sized pieces for even roasting.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place the sliced radishes on it.
- Season and toss: Drizzle the olive oil over the radishes, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together ensuring each radish piece is well coated.
- Spread for roasting: Arrange the radishes cut side down in a single layer on the pan, leaving a little space between each piece to promote even cooking.
- Roast the radishes: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the radishes are tender and golden brown.
- Serve immediately: Remove the roasted radishes from the oven and serve hot as a flavorful and healthy side dish.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, firm radishes to ensure they roast to a tender texture.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
- These roasted radishes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or on the stovetop.
