Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh radishes (about 16-18 medium radishes), washed, trimmed, and halved
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt, plus more for finishing
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill, tarragon, or basil; optional)
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare radishes: Wash radishes thoroughly, trim stems and roots, and halve each radish lengthwise. Quarter larger radishes for even cooking.
- Melt butter: Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan over low heat until fully liquid.
- Toss radishes: Place radishes in a mixing bowl, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sea salt (reserve a pinch for finishing). Add black pepper if desired. Toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange radishes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread radishes cut-side down in a single layer.
- Roast: Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through with tongs or a spatula, until fork-tender and edges are golden. Remove any pieces that brown faster.
- Finish: Remove from oven. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt and optional fresh herbs or lemon zest.
- Serve: Transfer roasted radishes to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately. To keep warm, hold in a 200°F (90°C) oven for up to 30 minutes.
