Roasting radishes completely changes them into something sweet and delicious. Toss in the radish greens to make a great fresh side dish. Even people who don’t think they like radishes are sure to be surprised how good they are!
I never thought I liked radishes. But then, I had only ever had the ones from the store.
Fresh radishes, right from the garden are a completely different thing altogether. But even if you don’t like fresh spring radishes, you have to give these a try.
Roasted they are yet a completely different version of themselves. The peppery bite almost disappears and their sweetness shines through.
It used to be that I would only use the root part of these kinds of vegetables. Then I learned the fun things you can do with beet greens.

Now I look forward to the greens as much as the vegetables themselves. In fact, my husband loves beet greens but will only eat the obligatory one beet a year in order to prove to himself that he still doesn’t like them.
He happily plants them though so I will put the greens in things. I don’t have to get everything he does… good thing too, ’cause sometime he’s a strange creature! 😉
So please, go to your farmer’s market (or your backyard garden) and get some radishes. Cut them up, add a little olive oil, salt and pepper and give them a quick roast.
Wilt the greens and add a little butter to finish them off (because you know butter makes everything better!) You could even get sassy and give them a quick squeeze of lemon.
But I prefer mine simple and just a bit salty. MMM! You are going to love it!

I have never actually had radishes. These look delicious, I should give them a try I think. 🙂
You definitely should! Fresh spring radishes are delicious!
Ooo…I could definitely eat a large bowl of this! 🙂

They are so good roasted. I hope you give it a try! Thanks, Kim!
I just had to tell you that I'm going to try roasting my radishes tonight. I plant them as a companion plant to attract bugs even though I'm not very fond of peppery radishes, and I just pulled a huge amount of them out of the garden. Mine are really peppery due to how hot and humid it's been, so I'm hoping that roasting them corrects that a bit. I never would of thought of roasting them, great idea!
I hope you love them! I do like early spring radishes fresh, but this time of year roasted is the only way to go. You'll have to let me know what you think!!
Wow Carlee these roasted radishes look so good!

Thanks for reminding me. 🙂
I hope you have some soon! We really enjoy this version. I really should try them other ways, but it's hard to not go with something you know you love!
That's it! I'm gonna just have to roast some darned radishes. I keep hearing about them, and these look delish!!

Do it! Do it! Do it! I hope you love them!
Roasted Radishes have been on my list to try, and I just never get to it. I really need to make this!
You HAVE to try them! They are so darn good!
This is exactly my experience. I never did like radishes until I saw someone roast them on tv. We happened to have some for Pops growing in the garden. Although I was skeptical I decided to give roasting them a try. Now we grow them for salads and for roasting. So good!
They really are quite good! And the greens are good too!
