A quick and easy side dish featuring roasted radishes coated in melted butter and fresh herbs, transforming their sharp bite into a mellow, comforting flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) medium-sized radishes, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives), finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse radishes well, trim off greens, and halve medium-sized radishes. Smaller radishes can be left whole. Pat dry thoroughly.
  3. Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter until fully liquid but not browned.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add radishes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the butter herb mixture.
  6. Spread radishes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side down if halved, leaving space between pieces.
  7. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through.
  8. Optional: Toss with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice after roasting.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the radishes. Pat radishes dry before roasting. Use melted butter for even coating. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter. Roasting time may vary depending on oven; check tenderness at 20 minutes. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
