Ingredients
  

1 bunch (about 1 lb) radishes, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of ½ lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that it's hot enough to achieve a perfect roast on the radishes.

    Prepare the Radishes: Rinse the radishes under cool water to remove any dirt. Trim off the leafy greens and cut them in half lengthwise. This cutting technique helps them roast more uniform and allows for better flavor absorption.

      Make the Herb Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended and the garlic is evenly distributed throughout.

        Toss the Radishes: Add the halved radishes to the herb mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, toss them thoroughly until all of the radishes are well coated with the herb and oil mixture. Ensure that every radish piece is seasoned for maximum flavor.

          Spread on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Arrange the radishes on the baking sheet in a single layer, placing the cut side down for better caramelization.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. The radishes should become tender and develop a golden-brown hue. About halfway through the cooking time, give the radishes a gentle toss to promote even cooking and browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once they are golden and tender, remove the radishes from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. If you like, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of freshness and color.

                Enjoy: Serve the garlic herb roasted radishes warm as a delicious and unique side dish. They also make a fantastic addition when tossed into salads, adding depth and flair to your meal.
