Roasted Radishes with Thyme (Printable)

Tender radishes oven-roasted with garlic and thyme create a flavorful low-carb side dish.

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved

→ Aromatics

02 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
03 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

→ Seasonings & Oil

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large 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 best caramelization.

05 - Remove from the oven, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The high heat transforms that sharp radish bite into something surprisingly mellow and sweet
  • You get all the satisfaction of roasted potatoes with a fraction of the carbs
02 -
  • Cutting radishes in half and placing them cut side down is crucial for getting those caramelized edges
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam instead of roast, so use a larger baking sheet if needed
03 -
  • Small radishes tend to be sweeter and less peppery than larger ones
  • Let the pan get really hot before adding the oil coated vegetables for better browning
