Simple Roasted Radishes
Little did I know how good roasted radishes are. My good friend Jessica, who is also big into food prepping, introduced me to these bad boys while I was staying with her in Austin a couple of weeks ago and what can I say: they are BOMB. As for me, radishes always had to be eaten cold in a salad or as a snack with some sort of dip. However, especially if you are having a quite sensitive stomach (like me), eating them raw can easily be irritating to your gut. Roasting them makes them a lot more soothing, yet also brings out a totally different, kinda sweet and super tasty flavor.
Just season them, pop them in the oven, roast and enjoy them either hot as a side dish or cold as a topping for your green salad. And if you are like me and always used to throw away the greens, there is a solution for that, too: a creamy Green Radish Pesto, which is coming to you next week.
Stay tuned for that and enjoy!
