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.
