Oven roasted radishes are mellow, a little sweet, soft on the inside, yet crispy on the outside. They make a unique side dish for any dinner and can be a wonderful substitute for potatoes. Seasoned with olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper, baked radishes are a WHOLE LOTTA YUM way to try something new!
Baked Radishes
We roast A LOT of vegetables at our house – it’s truly our most popular cooking method! Oven baking vegetables at a high heat caramelizes them, which brings out their flavor in ways that other cooking methods just can’t.
When we first heard about oven-baked radishes, and how they take on a totally different taste and texture than raw, we knew we had to try it for ourselves. And let me tell ya, if you want to cook a radish or are even wondering if you can cook radishes, roasting (or baking them) is truly the BEST method out there.
Luckily, the day we opted to try roasting radishes in the oven my son had several friends over and the kitchen was busy with multiple recipes going at once.
And while teenaged boys might eat just about anything, they will certainly not shy away from telling you that a dish is not a good one. 😉
However, after 3 very enthusiastic thumbs up, including for the baked radishes, I knew we had a winner.
A truly unique side dish, baked radishes can be served with just about any dish you would consider serving roasted potatoes with including stovetop chicken thighs, parmesan chicken breast, or baked pork chops.

Assemble
Drizzle the olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper over the top of the radishes and mix right on the pan with a large spoon or spatula.
Bake
Place your prepared radishes in the preheated oven.
After 15-minutes, flip the roast radishes and continue baking the oven roasted radishes for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Start checking for doneness after 20 minutes of cook time as oven temperatures vary and the size of your radish pieces will affect cook time as well.

Enjoy!
