# How to Make It:

03 - Spread the radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down.

05 - Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Roasting completely transforms the sharp bite of raw radishes into something mellow and almost sweet.
  • This dish requires five ingredients and almost zero effort but tastes like you spent an hour on it.
02 -
  • Crowding the pan will steam the radishes instead of roasting them, so use two sheets if necessary.
  • Smaller radishes roast faster and develop better texture than oversized ones.
03 -
  • Let the radishes sit undisturbed for the first fifteen minutes so a real crust can form before you toss them.
  • Dried thyme rubbed between your palms before adding releases far more fragrance than pouring it straight from the jar.
