# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place halved radishes in a large bowl. Add minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme if using. Toss until the radishes are evenly coated.
03 - Spread the seasoned radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even spacing for proper roasting.

05 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Roasting tames the sharp bite of radishes into something buttery and mild, even people who swear they hate radishes will reconsider.
- The whole thing comes together on one pan with barely any effort, which makes it the easiest side dish in your weeknight rotation.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with soggy radishes instead of perfectly roasted ones, so use two sheets if needed.
- Stirring halfway through the cooking time ensures even browning on all sides and prevents any pieces from sticking or burning.
03 -
- Cut all the radishes to roughly the same size so they finish roasting at the same time and you dont end up with some mushy and some underdone.
- Swapping the parsley for fresh chives or dill changes the whole personality of the dish with zero extra effort.
