04 - Spread the radishes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
05 - Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until radishes are golden and fork-tender.
06 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Radishes transform completely in the oven, losing all that sharp bite and becoming almost buttery and sweet
  • They roast up faster than potatoes and feel special enough for dinner guests
02 -
  • Dry the radishes completely after rinsing or they will steam instead of roast, and nobody wants soggy radishes
  • Stirring halfway through is not optional if you want even browning on all sides
03 -
  • If you want extra crispy edges, run them under the broiler for 2 minutes at the very end
  • Fresh herbs can replace dried, just use three times the amount and add them after roasting
