Radishes are often an overlooked vegetable, usually seen as a crunchy addition to salads or a garnish on the side. So when you use this recipe to make roasted radishes, you transform this humble root vegetable into a star side dish, with only 2 net grams of carbs per serving.
Place top oven rack in the center position and preheat oven to 400 F.
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!
Notes
This recipe calls for a 16-ounce bag of radishes that you might have bought at Costco or the supermarket. Of course, if you have fresh radishes from your garden, the farmer's market or wherever you get fresh vegetables, then by all means use them.
