# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The radishes lose their sharp bite and turn into something almost sweet, like baby potatoes but lighter
- Butter and garlic make anything better, but they absolutely transform roasted radishes into something people keep talking about
02 -
- Crowding the pan will steam the radishes instead of roasting them, so give them space and use two baking sheets if necessary
- Stirring halfway through is crucial for even browning, so set a timer and do not skip this step
03 -
- Leftover roasted radishes make an excellent addition to salads the next day, adding a sweet, savory element
- If the radishes still have their greens attached, do not throw them away because they are delicious sautéed with olive oil and garlic
