Calories: 140kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds radishes trimmed on both sides
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon juiced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and the juice of one lemon.
- Wash and trim both ends of the radishes, then add them to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss well to coat evenly and set aside to marinate while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
- Give the radishes another toss in the marinade, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the remaining marinade in the bowl for later use.
- Spread the radishes in a single layer on the baking sheet, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and roast for 10 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the radishes, and continue roasting for another 10 minutes or until they develop a light char.
- Transfer the hot radishes back into the bowl with the reserved marinade, tossing well to coat. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning or lemon juice to taste.
- Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling with crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.
Notes
- Chop evenly: For even roasting.
- For the crispiest oven roasted radishes: Thoroughly dry them after washing, don’t skimp on oil, and spread in a single layer with space between to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
- For better browning: Preheat the tray and place the radishes cut-side down.
- Cooking time may vary: Based on your tenderness preference.
- Save radish tops: Radish greens can be rinsed and sautéed, stir-fried, blended into pesto, added to salads, etc.
