# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved
→ Aromatics
02 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
03 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
→ Seasonings & Oil
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the halved radishes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for best caramelization.
04 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until radishes are golden and tender.
05 - Remove from the oven, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sharp peppery bite completely disappears in the oven, leaving behind these buttery, slightly sweet gems that even self-proclaimed radish haters cannot resist
- They come together in under 40 minutes but taste like something from a nice restaurant
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the quickest way to end up with steamed radishes instead of roasted ones, so use two baking sheets if needed
- Placing them cut side down makes all the difference for getting that gorgeous caramelized crust that makes people think they are potatoes
03 -
- Do not be afraid of high heat here because that is what creates the magical transformation from peppery to sweet
- If your radishes still have their greens attached, save them and sauté them separately with some garlic for a zero-waste bonus
