Expert Tips:

  • Roasted radishes pair well with a protein dish such as soy sauce chicken, stuffed chicken breast, and cornish hens.
  • Substitute the butter with olive oil or avocado oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Spread the radishes out in a single layer in the baking dish. Overcrowding can cause uneven cooking and steaming rather than roasting.
  • Try thinking of roasted radishes as a blank canvas for your culinary creativity. Drizzle them with a splash of extra virgin olive oil or your favorite citrus dressing right before serving.
  • Consider topping roasted radishes with a few toasted nuts or a sprinkling of microgreens for added crunch and a pop of color.
