Roasted Radishes with Herb Butter

Equipment

  • Sheet Pan
  • Oven or sauté in a skillet instead
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Bowl

Ingredients

Farmers Market Ingredients

  • 1-2 bunches radishes (save the leafy tops)
  • fresh herbs: ex. chives, dill, parsley
  • green garlic (optional)

Pantry Staples

  • salt to taste
  • butter or extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Trim the radishes; halve any big ones and leave small ones whole.
  • Toss with 1 Tbsp melted butter or EVOO and a pinch of salt. Spread on the sheet pan.
  • Roast 18–22 minutes, stirring once, until tender and lightly browned.
  • Toss the hot radishes with the other 1 Tbsp butter or EVOO and a big handful of chopped herbs. If you saved the greens, stir them in at the end until just wilted.
  • Note: adding extra butter and salt at the end can create a perfect sauce for sopping up with local crusty bread.

Notes

Substitutions
  • Radishes: spring turnips, or new potatoes for a longer roast 
  • Herbs: chives, dill, parsley, or minced scape tops
