Ingredients
Radishes
- 1 lbs radishes, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vinaigrette
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey (use sugar for vegan option)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Radishes: Wash, trim, and halve the radishes. Pat them dry thoroughly to ensure they roast properly. Place the radishes in a large bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Roast Radishes: Arrange the radishes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Roast for 30 minutes, or until they turn golden and become fork-tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking if desired.
- Make Vinaigrette: While the radishes roast, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, honey, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a jar with a secure lid. Shake well until the dressing is fully emulsified. Adjust seasonings to your preference.
- Toss and Serve: Once radishes are roasted, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the freshly made vinaigrette and toss gently to coat evenly. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or a healthy snack.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with an equal amount of sugar or maple syrup.
- The radishes can be halved or quartered depending on size for more even roasting.
- Ensure radishes are patted dry before tossing with oil to promote better roasting and caramelization.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a vegetable medley.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
