# What You Need:

# How-To Steps:

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 Hints:
01 -
- Roasting tames the peppery bite of raw radishes into something mellow and almost sweet, so even radish skeptics come back for seconds.
- It comes together with five ingredients and one pan, which is about as low effort as a side dish can get.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steamed radishes instead of roasted ones, so use two sheets if necessary.
- A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens everything and balances the richness in a way that will surprise you.
03 -
- Slice the radishes into uniform halves so they all finish roasting at the same time and you avoid the mix of mushy and crunchy pieces.
- Toss them with the oil and seasonings with your hands rather than a spoon, because you can feel when every surface is properly coated.
