Buttery Roasted Radishes are a simple and delicious side dish featuring tender radishes roasted to perfection with melted butter, garlic powder, and seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper. This easy recipe transforms spicy radishes into a mild, flavorful accompaniment ideal for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Radishes

  • 2 bunches radishes (medium-sized, washed, dried, tops trimmed; about 1 pound trimmed)

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt or any other salt)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the radishes evenly and achieving a tender texture.
  2. Prep Radishes: Cut the radishes in half lengthwise, which allows for better roasting and caramelization on the cut side.
  3. Arrange Radishes: Place the halved radishes cut side down in a single layer in a 9 x 13-inch rimmed baking dish to roast evenly.
  4. Add Butter and Seasonings: Drizzle the melted butter over the radishes, then sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat all the radishes thoroughly.
  5. Roast Radishes: Roast in the preheated oven until the radishes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor. Serve warm as a delightful side dish.

Notes

  • Using medium-sized radishes helps achieve even roasting; very large radishes may need longer cooking.
  • Adjust the salt quantity depending on your salt type and preference.
  • Toasting the garlic powder slightly with the butter before tossing can deepen the flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently to preserve texture.
