Roasted Radishes Garlic Thyme (Print version)

Tender radishes roasted with garlic and thyme make a flavorful, healthy side dish.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved

02 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

03 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

05 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a mixing bowl, toss the halved radishes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

03 - Spread the radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for optimal browning.

04 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the radishes are golden, tender, and slightly caramelized.

05 - Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.

01 -

Roasting completely transforms radishes from sharp and peppery to mellow and sweet with a satisfying bite
This recipe comes together in under 40 minutes but makes it look like you actually planned a thoughtful side dish
You finally have something elegant to do with that massive radish bunch from your farmers market impulse buy

02 -

Crowding the baking sheet is the quickest way to steam instead of roast so give them room to breathe
Stirring halfway through prevents the bottoms from burning while ensuring even browning on all sides

03 -

If your radishes are particularly large quarter them instead of halving so they finish cooking at the same time
Substitute rosemary or oregano for the thyme if that is what you have growing in your garden
