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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the ideal roasting temperature.
- Prepare Radishes: Using a sharp knife, slice the smaller radishes in half and quarter any larger radishes to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange Radishes: Place the sliced radishes on a parchment or aluminum foil-lined sheet pan to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Season Radishes: Drizzle the olive oil over the radishes, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat all radish pieces evenly with the seasoning.
- Spread Out: Spread the radishes out in a single layer, cut side down, leaving some space between each piece to promote even roasting and caramelization.
- Roast Radishes: Roast the radishes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the roasted radishes from the oven and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Roasting radishes reduces their natural peppery bite, creating a sweeter, milder flavor.
- Use parchment paper or foil on the sheet pan for easy cleanup.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
- These roasted radishes can also be served chilled or at room temperature as a snack or salad addition.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
