    Butter roasted radishes - who knew that roasted radishes were so good! :)

    Since it seems to be the week for using vegetables that I don't often use: I don't think I have ever cooked with radishes before. I've had them raw a few times in salads, and to be honest they've never particularly inspired me. I'm sure they're lovely if you're into salads (is anyone 'into' salads?), but cold, raw vegetables aren't exactly tempting to me. Give me a roasted pepper over a raw pepper any day, or a sun-dried tomato, or some boiled carrots... I could never, ever be a raw foodie (not that I would want to be).

    My absolute favourite way to improve on a raw vegetable is roasting - I've told you before how I think it's utterly magical. There isn't any vegetable that isn't improved by roasting (though I'm sure you'll all find examples to prove me wrong). So, I thought I'd give roasted radishes a go to see if they too can be improved by a stint in the oven.

    And just in case regular roasting wasn't enough, I thought I'd roast them in butter. There definitely isn't anything that can't be improved with a good dab of butter.

    Start by topping and tailing your radishes. To be honest, you could probably stick with just topping them (they don't have much tail), but I like to be thorough.

    Plus it gives you more time to stare at how unbelievably gorgeous radishes are...

    Spread them out on a baking tray with a bit of s+p and a few good dabs of butter.

    (they almost look like red potatoes!)

    Then just roast them for about 40-ish minutes, or until they're cooked to your liking. Give them a good toss half way through the cooking time (or meticulously turn each piece over like I did...). You can add a little bit more butter at this point if that's your thing (note: it most definitely is my thing).

    And there you have it! How to roast radishes. Much like roasting any other vegetable, to be honest.

    The end result is quite different to the raw version - soft and slightly sweet, but still with the slightly peppery, radishy flavour. It's really interesting - and with the thin coating of melted butter, really tasty!

    Have you ever tried roasting radishes? I wonder what I should roast next...

      I've made these before and love them. I found the recipe I used on Peace Love and Low Carb. She slices hers and uses garlic and Italian season. I'm going to use your recipe this time and see if I like the chucky pieces or slices better. I also like rutabaga and turnip roasted. Turnip can be a little bitter but if you sprinkle sugar on it after you cook it it cuts the bitter taste.

      Ooh I've never roasted a radish. I shall be trying this soon - they look like they'd be amazing in a salad.

      Yay! I love roasting radishes -- who knew you could eat them like this, or even cook them at all? It was such an exciting realization. :)

      I'm so intrigued by your roasted radishes! They look delicious and I have never had radishes cooked before. Since I pretty much roast every veggie I meet I have to try these out :) Have you tried roasting fennel?? That's on my menu for tomorrow. I had it years ago and it was so good, can't wait to make it again.

        I don't think I've had roasted fennel! I'm not a big fan of aniseed - does the flavour stick around even when it's roasted?

          Roasting fennel most definitely tones down the licorice flavour. It will still be there, but will be very, very mellow.

      Looks yummy. We've never had radishes at home. But there's a restaurant in southwest London called Trinity that serves the yummiest raw radishes. I never thought they could be so tasty.
