Add a pop of color to your table with these beautiful pink Garlic Roasted Radishes. Roasted Radishes are a light, fresh, spring dish. Ready in only 30 minutes!
When I think of spring I immediately think of blooming flowers and tons of pastel colors. I love how the whole of creation comes back to life during this time.
And I love seeing that in food. Not only is eating seasonally good for our biological clocks and for local businesses, it is great to know that you are eating a food at the peak of freshness. Eating foods that have been recently harvested is one of the best ways to maximize nutritional benefit.
Plus, when the food is as beautiful and springy as these radishes, it's actually a joy to eat them.

I made a recipe similar to this for my Easter dinner and my favorite part of the meal was the absolutely gorgeous color of cooked radishes. When radishes are raw they are bright red, but as they cook their color softens to a rosy shade of pink. Beautiful!
Another beautiful thing? How easy this radish dish is. These Garlic Roasted Radishes take about 5 minutes to prep and then you just pop them in the oven and wait for the magic to happen.
Can you cook radishes?
Yes! Raw radishes have a peppery flavor, but when you cook radishes they soften and become sweeter and more mild.
Roasting radishes in the oven is a great way to eat more radishes, especially if you don't like the bite of raw radishes.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Radishes: For the freshest taste, buy radishes that still have the stems on. Then chop them off right before cooking.
- Garlic: fresh garlic is ideal for this recipe, but I've made it with freeze dried and even garlic powder - it sill tastes delicious!
- Salt & Pepper: Add as much as you'd like, to taste.
- Parsley: add some chopped parsley for some freshness at the end. You can also use dried parsley
