This oven-roasted radish recipe is an absolute GAME CHANGER and my favourite way to enjoy this nutritious spring vegetable. A helpful breakdown of radish nutrition is included for your benefit, together with a recipe for cooking those leftover radish greens!
I’ll be totally honest with you — I’m not a huge fan of raw radishes. I find the raw ones a little bit too peppery and bitter for my taste.
Roasted radishes, on the other hand, taste like an entirely new vegetable. They’re sweet, juicy, and absolutely delicious!
The first time I made oven-roasted radishes was a couple years ago while visiting my dad in Switzerland.
He had bought a bunch of radishes, and they were sitting on the kitchen counter untouched. I decided to try roasting them one evening and both of us couldn’t get over how good they tasted!
We loved them so much that I made them multiple times during my visit, and even wrote down the recipe for my dad.
If you’re someone who doesn’t love the taste of raw radishes (or you’re simply curious to try a new way of eating them), you may just want to give this recipe a shot!

Can you really roast radishes?
You bet! Just like most other veggies, all they need is a toss in olive oil, a few spices, and about 20 minutes in the oven.
You will be blown away by how incredibly sweet and juicy they become when roasted. I love eating them as a side dish, or adding them to a colourful grain bowl or salad.

Radish Nutrition Benefits

Ingredients
- 2 bunches of radishes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tsps garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Remove radishes from stems and set aside the radish greens. Wash radishes well and pat dry.
Cut radishes into quarters; add to a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.
Spread the radishes over a lined baking sheet, then roast for approximately 15-20 minutes, until tender (you should be able to easily poke them with a fork).
Enjoy hot as a side dish to your favorite protein or in a grain bowl.
Notes
*While radishes cook, saute the greens to ensure they don’t go to waste! Simply wash them well and saute with a bit of olive oil, garlic powder, and salt before adding them as a side dish.
*Leftovers will keep 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave, stovetop, or oven.
