Oven-Roasted Radishes

Oven-Roasted Radishes are a delightful low-carb side dish that transforms the peppery root vegetable into a tender, caramelized treat. Perfectly seasoned with garlic and herbs, they make a flavorful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

• Radishes - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - ½ teaspoon
• Black pepper - ¼ teaspoon
• Dried thyme - ½ teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons, grated (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash the radishes thoroughly and trim off the tops and tails, then cut them in half.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the halved radishes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Spread the radishes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
6. If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the radishes in the last 5 minutes of roasting, and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and golden.
7. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
