# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Roasting tames the sharp bite completely, even for people who swear they hate radishes
  • The garlic butter coating creates these gorgeous caramelized edges that taste restaurant fancy
  • Ready in under 40 minutes but looks like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen
02 -
  • Cut side down is non negotiable, thats where the gorgeous caramelization happens
  • Stirring halfway prevents burning and ensures even cooking on all sides
  • Let them roast at least 20 minutes, undercooked roasted radishes taste disappointingly raw
03 -
  • Look for radishes with leaves still attached, theyre usually the freshest
  • Pat radishes dry before tossing with butter, excess water prevents proper roasting
