Buttery Roasted Radishes

These 30-minute roasted radishes are the perfect alternative to potatoes. Roasting downplays their sharpness and makes them creamy.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches radishes medium-sized, washed, dried, tops trimmed; 1 pound trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional:
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the radishes in half lengthwise.
  2. Arrange the radishes in a single layer in a 9 X 13-inch rimmed baking dish, cut side down. Add the melted butter.
  3. Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
  4. Roast until the radishes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Top with chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

  • While raw radishes have a sharp flavor, cooked ones are mild. So you should salt them liberally and season them well.
  • If you prefer bolder flavors, add more seasonings or sprinkle the radishes with Parmesan cheese before roasting. I especially like using onion powder, chili powder, and dried thyme. I add ½ teaspoon of each.
  • If you're after bolder flavors, another option that I tried and liked is to cook the radishes in olive oil and balsamic vinegar - a tablespoon of each - instead of butter.
  • If the radishes are large, they'll need to stay longer in the oven - up to 30 minutes.
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave at 50% power. I also like them cold, straight out of the fridge.
