Low-Carb Easy Roasted Radishes Recipe

Radishes are common in my kitchen and meals in the spring when they are freshest. While I love to crunch on them in a salad, roasting them makes a new comfort food recipe!
If you’re looking to mix things up, try tossing your roasted radishes with other low-carb veggies. Adding broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or zucchini not only creates a burst of color but also gives you a nutrient-packed side. A platter like this tastes as good as it looks.

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.
