Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) radishes, sliced and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) fresh dill, chopped
Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) black pepper
Cooking Oil:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a high temperature of 425°F, creating an ideal roasting environment for transforming radishes into a crispy, herbaceous side dish.
- Slice radishes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Create a flavor coating by gently massaging olive oil, fragrant dill, and seasoning into the radish slices, ensuring each piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.
- Prepare a baking sheet with a light spray of cooking oil and aluminum foil to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Arrange the seasoned radish slices in a single, uncrowded layer to promote optimal caramelization and prevent steaming.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for approximately 15-20 minutes, watching for a golden exterior and tender interior.
- Remove the radishes when they achieve a delicate balance of crisp edges and soft center, allowing them to rest briefly before serving to help them set and develop deeper flavors.
Notes
- Roasting transforms these peppery radishes into a mellow, slightly sweet side dish with crispy edges.
- Fresh dill adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that perfectly complements the natural earthiness of the radishes.
- Use aluminum foil and cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking during roasting.
- For best results, slice radishes uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture.
- Quick 15-20 minute cooking time makes this a fast and simple vegetable side dish for any meal.
- Serve warm for maximum flavor and enjoy the unexpected softness of roasted radishes compared to their raw crunch.
