# How To Make It:

02 - In a large bowl, toss the halved radishes with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the seasoned radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them cut side down for even caramelization.

05 - Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The peppery kick of raw radishes mellows into a buttery, savory bite that even radish skeptics will devour.
  • It transforms three dollars worth of farmers market radishes into a side dish that feels almost decadent.
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steam instead of roast, so use two sheets if necessary.
  • The radishes will seem firm at the fifteen minute mark, but resist pulling them early because that final ten minutes is when the magic happens.
03 -
  • Slice larger radishes into quarters so everything finishes cooking 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 side.
