05 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving if desired.
# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- Roasting tames the peppery bite of raw radishes into something mellow and almost sweet, which surprises everyone who tries them.
- This dish requires almost no effort and pairs with practically any main course you can think of.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with soggy radishes instead of beautifully caramelized ones.
- A squeeze of lemon juice right after they come out of the oven brightens everything up in a way you will not expect.
03 -
- Cut all the radishes to roughly the same size so they finish roasting at the same time.
- Let the baking sheet preheat in the oven for a few minutes before adding the radishes for an even better sear on the cut sides.
