Roasted Radishes Garlic Thyme (Printable)

Tender radishes roasted with garlic and fresh thyme for a flavorful and healthy side dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved
02 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Herbs & Seasonings

03 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Oils

06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, toss the halved radishes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for optimal browning.
04 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the radishes are golden, tender, and slightly caramelized.
05 - Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The roasting process completely transforms radishes from peppery and crisp to buttery and mellow, almost like small roasted potatoes but lighter
  • They take barely five minutes of active work and pair with literally any protein you have planned
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan or the radishes will steam instead of roast, keeping that sharp raw flavor instead of developing sweetness
  • The color shift from bright pink to a softer rosier hue indicates they are done, along with visible browning at the edges
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent any oil or juices from dripping into your oven during the high heat roasting
  • Let the roasted radishes rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the flavors settle and they are easier to handle
