Perfect as a low-carb alternative to roasted potatoes, this dish is aromatic, buttery, and irresistibly delicious.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound radishes, rinsed, patted dry, and trimmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (can substitute with olive oil)
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Radishes: In a medium saucepan, place the radishes and cover with water by one inch. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes until the radishes are fork-tender.
  2. Preheat the Oven: While radishes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Drain and Rest: Drain the cooked radishes and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes in a colander over the sink to remove excess moisture.
  4. Prepare Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and sea salt until combined and fragrant.
  5. Coat the Radishes: Add the drained radishes to the butter mixture and stir gently to coat each radish thoroughly.
  6. Smash and Arrange: Transfer the radishes to the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer. Use a fork to gently smash each radish to slightly flatten.
  7. Season and Roast: Drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the smashed radishes and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the radishes for 25-30 minutes until they are slightly browned and crispy on the edges.
  9. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute olive oil for unsalted butter for a dairy-free version.
  • Ensure the radishes are cooked until fork-tender for easier smashing and better texture.
  • Fresh rosemary provides the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in a pinch (reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon).
  • Adjust garlic and salt to your taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crispiness, leftovers can be reheated but may lose crunch.
