Ingredients
Radishes
- 1 lb. fresh globe radishes, stems removed, ends trimmed, and halved
Seasoning & Fat
- 1 tablespoon melted ghee or butter
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley, dried chives, or dried dill (or mix of all)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
Optional Garnish
- Ranch dressing for drizzling
- Fresh parsley, dill, or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425℉ to prepare for roasting.
- Combine ingredients: In a bowl, toss the halved radishes with melted ghee or butter, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Keep the minced garlic aside for later.
- Arrange radishes: Spread the radishes in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure even roasting.
- Bake initially: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Add garlic and toss: After the first 10 minutes, add the finely minced garlic to the radishes and toss well to incorporate the flavor.
- Bake further: Return the baking dish to the oven and continue roasting the radishes for another 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Toss every 10 minutes during total roasting time for even cooking.
- Serve: Optionally, serve the roasted radishes drizzled with ranch dressing and garnished with fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Don’t add minced garlic at the beginning to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
- Use a large baking dish to keep radishes in a single layer for even roasting.
- Ghee, butter, or a neutral oil can be used according to preference.
- Roasted radishes turn sweet and tender, making them a great low-carb alternative to roasted potatoes.
- Adjust herbs and seasoning to taste based on availability and preference.
