Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and trim the radishes, then cut any larger ones in half to ensure even roasting.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the radishes with olive oil, sliced garlic, chopped herbs, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the radishes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have space around them for even roasting.
  5. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the radishes are golden, tender, and slightly caramelized around the edges.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over for a bright finish, if desired.
  7. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with extra herbs if you like, and serve warm for a flavorful, tender, and aromatic side dish.
