If you're looking for a quick and delightful side dish that adds a touch of flair to your meals while keeping the carbs low, roasted radishes are a brilliant choice. This simple recipe highlights the peppery flavour of radishes, transforming them into a deliciously tender and slightly sweet treat.

To prepare, start by preheating your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan ovens). Rinse and trim about 500g of fresh radishes, cutting any larger ones in half for even cooking. Toss the radishes with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. You might also consider adding a dash of garlic powder or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra flavour boost.

Spread the radishes on a baking tray in a single layer and roast for around 20-25 minutes, or until they’re tender and have developed a lovely golden-brown colour. Give them a stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.

Serve the warm roasted radishes alongside your favourite protein, and enjoy the unique, sweet yet savoury flavour that this low-carb vegetable brings to your plate. It’s a wonderful way to embrace healthy eating without compromising on taste!
