Roasted Radishes
Radishes are often an overlooked vegetable, usually seen as a crunchy addition to salads or a garnish on the side. But have you ever thought of roasting them? This recipe transforms this humble root veggie into a star dish that’s not only keto-friendly but also incredibly delicious.
The Magic of Roasting Radishes
Roasting radishes changes their flavor profile completely. They lose their peppery bite and develop a sweetness that’s absolutely delightful. They also become tender and juicy, making them a great low-carb substitute for potatoes.
Ingredients
The ingredients list for this recipe is simple and straightforward. All you need are fresh radishes, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and fresh parsley for garnishing. These pantry staples come together to create a dish that’s bursting with flavor.
- 3 strips bacon
- 1 16 oz bag radishes trimmed and cut in half
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
The Process
First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet or other oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Transfer bacon from skillet to a plate lined with paper towels and pat dry. Drain and discard all but one tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Add radishes to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Place skillet in preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir the radishes to turn. Return to oven for another 10 minutes or until the radishes are crisp-tender and nicely browned.
Remove from oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Crumble the cooked bacon on top and stir to combine. Serve immediately with your choice of main dishes. Enjoy!
The Verdict
Roasted Radishes is a delightful surprise for your palate. They’re crispy, flavorful, and make a perfect side dish to any main course.
