Roast Radishes

A delicious side dish, buy your veg local and in season!
I love eating local food in season. One food in season in April in Ireland is radishes. They are colourful and have a bitter taste. They are delicious in salads and are often served as a crudite before a meal to assist with the production of digestive juices.
However, have you ever tried roast radishes? The flavour changes and they loose the bitter taste and make for a delicious side dish. Here is my recipe for roast radishes!
Ingredients:
2-3 bunches radishes, trimmed and halved
2 Tbsp Olive oil
2 tsp. thyme, fresh or dried
Pepper and salt
1/4 cup grated parmesan (optional)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Sprinkle the olive oil, seasoning and herbs over the halved radishes.
- Place them on the roasting tray, cut side down.
- Roast in the oven for 20 mins until tender and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Sprinkle with parmesan if using and return to oven for 5 mins.
- Serve immediately.
This is one of the recipes in my upcoming Wholefood Seasonal Cooking demos
