Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 grams) fresh radishes, trimmed and halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons (45 grams) unsalted butter, melted and browned
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon (6 grams) flaky sea salt
- ½ teaspoon (1 gram) freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Rinse and dry 1 pound (450 grams) of radishes. Trim the leafy tops and root ends, then cut each radish in half or quarters if large, keeping pieces uniform in size.
- In a small saucepan or skillet, melt 3 tablespoons (45 grams) of unsalted butter over medium heat. After 3-4 minutes, when it starts to brown lightly and smell nutty, stir in 3 cloves of finely minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Remove from heat immediately.
- Place the cut radishes in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter over them, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon (1 gram) freshly ground black pepper, and toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
- Spread the radishes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down if possible, leaving space to avoid overcrowding.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the radishes gently halfway through using tongs or a spatula. They should be tender inside and crisp on the outside. If they look dry, drizzle a little more melted butter or olive oil halfway through roasting.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle 1 teaspoon (6 grams) flaky sea salt evenly over the hot radishes. Add chopped fresh parsley if using.
- Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the radishes. Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning and achieve a nutty flavor. Flip radishes halfway through roasting for even crispness. Use flaky sea salt at the end for texture and flavor. For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter. Roasting whole garlic cloves instead of minced garlic will give a milder garlic flavor.
