Wondering how to cook radishes? This easy recipe for roasted radishes is so delicious. Roasting radishes cuts the bite out of this root veggie big time, and gives them a lovely flavor and texture, similar to that of a roasted potato. They’re the perfect healthy vegetable side dish for any dinner.

If you have never tried roasted radishes, prepare to have your mind blown! This little gem is one of my new favorite vegetable side dish recipes and is so easy to make. Just cut, season, and pop the radishes in the oven to roast up in 25 minutes. The roasting cuts the peppery bite of radishes and leaves them with a lovely subtle flavor and tender texture that is just delightful!

This vegetarian, gluten free side dish is the perfect addition to any family dinner, as it makes enough to serve 4 people. It goes beautifully with chicken or beef and is a beautifully easy recipe that will be a success no matter how much a of a kitchen newbie you are!

How to cook radishes

Radishes can be eaten raw or cooked.

Raw, radishes have a peppery flavor with a crisp texture.

Cooked radishes are tender texture and have a mild sweetness.

While I prefer roasting radishes, you can bake them or sauté them in a skillet on your stove top as well with a little oil and seasoning. I’d suggest cooking them over medium-high heat and cooking until they are fork tender.

Do radishes taste good cooked?

I know, roast radishes. Kinda sounds weird if you have only every eaten radishes raw before. But, trust me, this roasted radish recipe is pure magic….especially if you don’t think you are a radish lover.

Roasting radishes cuts that spicy bite that they rock and brings out their naturally sweetness and a tender texture. They are delicious in place of roasted potatoes!

How to store roasted radishes

These roasted radishes can be made ahead of time and stored in your fridge for 3-5 days. Warm them up in your microwave or in a 350℉ oven for 15 minutes.

How to roast radishes and tips

The beauty of this dish is that it is so simple and it is the method that really makes this roasted radishes recipe special.

It always dazzles me just how flavorful and beautiful veggies can be when you roast them with a little oil and salt.

The trick with roasted radishes is to cook them cut side down – This helps them lock in their natural sugars and give them that beautiful caramelization we are looking for in a roasted veggie.

Also, keep an eye on your radishes. Radishes come in all different sizes and all ovens cook a bit differently, so your roasted radishes might cook up fast or take longer than this recipe!

Finally, it is important to roast radishes in a single layer. Giving them space allows them to brown beautifully instead of steam.

      I hear you! I think this kind of recipe is a great reminder that even if we don’t like a vegetable (or any food) one way, it doesn’t mean we won’t like it another way.
