Garlic Roasted Radishes (Printable)

Tender radishes roasted with garlic and herbs create a savory, caramelized side dish with mild buttery flavor. Ready in 35 minutes.

# 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, sea salt, black 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 to 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 sharp and crunchy into something velvety and mild, like little roasted potatoes with a personality upgrade.
The whole thing comes together on one pan with five ingredients and almost zero effort, which makes it perfect for those nights when you want something warm and impressive but cannot be bothered to try hard.

02 -

Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steam your radishes instead of roasting them, so give them breathing room or use two sheets if you doubled the batch.
A squeeze of lemon juice right before serving wakes up the whole dish and balances the richness in a way that will make you wonder why you ever ate radishes any other way.

03 -

The radishes shrink significantly during roasting so if you think you bought enough, you probably did not, and doubling the recipe is never a bad idea.
Letting the baking sheet preheat in the oven for two minutes before adding the radishes gives them a head start on caramelization that makes a real difference in the final texture.
