# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Roasting turns peppery radishes into mellow sweet gems that even skeptics happily devour
  • This dish takes mere minutes to prep but looks elegant enough for dinner parties
  • You get a restaurant quality side dish using humble ingredients from the produce section
02 -
  • Cutting the radishes in equal halves ensures they cook evenly instead of leaving some pieces raw while others burn
  • Crowding the baking sheet will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them so give them room to breathe
03 -
  • If your radishes have particularly large greens save them for pesto or sauté them like spinach for zero waste cooking
  • Let the roasted radishes sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle and develop depth
