Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900 g) fresh radishes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan, optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the radishes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the radishes thoroughly, trim the tops and roots, and cut larger radishes in half.
2. Season
Place the radishes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, everything seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss thoroughly until every piece is coated.
3. Arrange for roasting
Spread the radishes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place the cut side facing down whenever possible. Avoid overcrowding the pan so they roast rather than steam.
4. Roast
Bake for 20–25 minutes, then flip the radishes. Continue roasting for another 10–15 minutes, until the edges are deeply golden and crisp and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
5. Add Parmesan
If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the hot radishes during the final 3–5 minutes of roasting. Allow it to become lightly golden.
6. Finish
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro. Add a small squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
