Garlic Herb Roasted Radishes (Print Version)

Tender roasted radishes enhanced with aromatic garlic and fragrant herbs, creating a nutrient-rich, low-calorie side dish.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound radishes, trimmed and halved
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
05 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
06 - 1 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
09 - Optional: Zest of 1 lemon

# Steps:

01 - Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved radishes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. If you're using lemon zest, add it to the mix for a touch of brightness.
03 - Use a spatula or your hands to toss the radishes thoroughly so that they are well coated in the oil and herb mixture.
04 - Spread the radishes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the radishes for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown, with a crispy edge.
06 - Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the roasted radishes for added flavor and color. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a unique addition to salads.

# Notes:

01 - This recipe transforms radishes into a sweet, tender side dish with aromatic herbs and garlic. They pair well with grilled meats or can be added to salads.
