I am excited to share with you my favorite baked roasted radishes recipe! Not only are these baked radishes loaded with yummy flavors, but they are also really simple to make. Once you learn how to roast radishes, don’t be surprised if they get added to your weekly rotation.
What Are Radishes?
Radishes are root vegetables in the cabbage family, also related to kale, broccoli and cauliflower. They can be red, white, green, purple, or even pink. They offer a spicy flavor that is naturally sweet, and are more mild when cooked.
This roasted radishes recipe is my favorite way to enjoy them.
Do Roasted Radishes Taste Like Potatoes?
What do roasted radishes taste like? Sort of like potatoes, but of course not exactly.
The texture of baked radishes is very similar to a potato. Roasting them neutralizes the sharp bite that raw ones have, so you can often use them as a low carb potato replacement.
Besides, the comfort food factor of crispy roasted radishes totally reminds me of potatoes! If you make them right, they get the same crispy exterior and soft inside. And if you brown them well, they just might become one of your new favorite paleo side dish recipes.
How To Roast Radishes
The process for how to roast radishes needs just five ingredients and a few minutes prep time. This no-fuss roasted radishes recipe requires minimal effort, and the result is perfectly crispy comfort food!
Here’s how to make roasted radishes:
1. How To Prepare Roasted Radishes
Before roasting radishes, wash and trim them. After washing, cut off the roots and the greens on top.
TIP: You can save the radish greens and use them in a different recipe, or add them to a garden salad. Radish greens would work in any recipe that calls for leafy green vegetables.
2. How To Season Roasted Radishes
Seasoning radishes for roasting is super simple. I use sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix all of your seasonings in a bowl, then toss the cut radishes in olive oil and the seasoning mixture.
3. How To Cook Roasted Radishes
Next, spread the radishes on a baking sheet.
TIP: It’s important to have the radishes in a single layer, which allows them to brown well!
Place them into the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of your radishes, turning halfway through.
TIP: Pierce roasted radishes with a fork to check the desired doneness. It should go in with virtually no resistance. Roasted radishes are done when they are soft inside, like potatoes.
Once they are finished cooking, sprinkle them with some extra salt.
Variations For Roasted Radishes
This roasted radishes recipe is fantastic as it is, but if it becomes a household favorite, you might be looking for some additional ideas to change it up once in a while.
Here are a few ideas for add-ins to roast with radishes:
- Onions – Add some cut red or yellow onions, then season and bake with radishes.
- Fennel seeds – They add a subtle sweet flavor.
- Garlic – It will resemble the flavor of garlic potatoes.
- Rosemary – Adds a great earthy flavor and delicious depth to the dish.
Are Roasted Radishes Healthy?
Yes, roasted radishes are healthy. Radishes are full of vitamins A, B6, C, E, and K, as well as potassium, fiber, antioxidants, magnesium, copper, and iron.
Plus, radishes are naturally low carb, gluten-free, and of course, paleo friendly veggies!
How Do You Store Roasted Radishes?
You can store leftover roasted radishes in the fridge for 3-5 days. Give them a light stir fry to liven them up before serving.
Can You Freeze Roasted Radishes?
Yes, you can freeze roasted radishes.
You can freeze leftovers, but if you’re making them to freeze, my preferred method of freezing roasted radishes is to just partially roast them before freezing. This stops some of the enzyme activity that tends to alter the texture of frozen vegetables over time. Then, you can just roast from frozen until they are done afterward.
NOTE: Roasted radishes that have been previously frozen won’t get as crisp as fresh ones.
What To Serve With This Roasted Radishes Recipe
Here are a few delicious paleo dinner recipes that will pair nicely with baked radishes:
- Italian Paleo Meatballs – Radishes make a great side dish for paleo meatballs.
- Vegan Kale Caesar Salad – Combine it with roasted radishes for a satisfying, filling vegan meal.
- Chuck Eye Steak – Combine steak and radishes for a low carb “steak and potatoes” type dinner.
- Roasted Harvest Salad With Maple Mustard Dressing – Throw the radishes into this salad with the other root veggies.

I was really excited about trying this raffish recipe, I’ve been on a very low carb almost Keri eating plan and desperately miss potatoes.
I made these as per your instructions and they just would not crisp at all. The end result, and I left them in an extra 15 minutes, was that if pruned finger tips. When I bit into the raffish there was a hush of moisture that was really unpleasant. Also the raffish flavor was still there, which I was okay with, but not expecting.
In the end I put the wrinkled radishes into my air fryer with a spray of oil, but still they never crisped. It was really disappointing.
Steph
Delicious and so easy to make!
Steve Marlow
Excellent – I never knew you could cook radishes. I followed the recipe closely except for the onion and garlic powder – my radishes where really big ones that I quartered. My problem with this dish is that my radishes didn’t go crisp like roast potatoes do… what did I do wrong??? Nevertheless dipped in some radish leaf pesto they are still very tasty.
Lora
Hmmm… the flavor from the garlic and seasonings was nice, but they weren’t crispy at all. They were rather smooshy liked baked apple. Nice, but not what I expected.
Jennifer
Delicious! Thanks for the fabulous recipe!
Charlene
Loved these! Do not like raw radishes, but these are amazing! We are going to cook for Easter dinner! Thanks
Becky
Easy and so good!
Cheri
Absolutely Delicious! Have been using this recipe for about a year. It is one of my go-to recipes and I make it often. Well received by two big hungry, meat and potato eating men as well, Lol! Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to share this lovely recipe!
Adam
First time having radishes. I love the recipe and I plan on making it a staple in my diet.
AM
What temp do you bake them at?? I don’t see that step.
Ann Larson
I ended up tossing mine in a little Italian dressing and sprinkling Feta cheese on them. It took the wang out of the radish.
Ava
Can these be prepared ahead of time and served more room temperature on a Mezze platter with hummus and other roasted veggies, etc?
Lora C
First try and they are amazing!!!
Sally Coleman
Wow, wow! What a wonderfully tasty surprise. Excellent olive oil will have you dredging the pan with bread.
Stacey Olsen
Has anyone tried to cook these in an air fryer?
Kelly Campbell
Delicious! I used less olive oil than called for and they still were great! I’ve never eaten so many radishes in one sitting!! Thanks!
Sheldon
Awesome recipe. I am trying it over the weekend.
Susan Huber
Love all the recipes and quick how to say for instance roast radishes I’ve been looking for that recipe forever thanks so much. Do you have a newsletter I would be interested if you did to sign me up and I just love your menu ideas as well. A lot of healthy food which is also seasonal and great and very easy to make thanks again Susan
Dee
I made these baked roasted radishes last night for dinner…we absolutely loved them. My husband said I could make those more often. Thank you!
Liz
This is the best way to eat radishes. It’s the only way I can get hubby to eat a cooked radish. We have also found it works great for diced potatoes. I have found though that we like ours with a bit less oil. I use about 2 Tbs instead of 3 whether I’m making radishes or potatoes. So yummy and so easy!
Thomas Russo
I can’t wait to try this. So they cook like potatoes? WoW, I love grilling veggies on the BBQ, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, squash, portobellos, carrots (incredible on the grill). I love radishes raw. I never thought to cook them. Thanks so much for this tip. I’m loading up on some radishes today to add to my grill.
David Griffin
Very easy and delicious! Thank you !
Kathy
Never having had radishes before, this was a pleasant surprise. These were tasty, delicious and a good substitute for potatoes while getting a serving of vegetables as well. While they do have the texture of a roasted potato, my husband did remark that it was “wet” unlike a potato, which was not preferred, but he would he them again as the flavor was good. Ours didn’t quite crisp as much as I would like on the outside but the mildly crispy outside paired with the tender inside was very good. Maybe a few minutes under the broiler would’ve given the extra crisp? Thanks for the great introduction to radishes.
John
Radishes are the easiest and quickest vegetable you can grow! Mine went from seeds to mature bulbs within weeks. Hard to believe but it’s true. And so very healthy and good for you fresh from the earth! Thank you so much for this recipe – I have so many radishes in the garden I wasn’t sure if I’d use them. Now I can’t wait for more to ripen! Thanks again for the great recipe!
Jillian
Made exactly as suggested and they were wonderful!!!
Ash Bree
Made these with some Swiss burger’s & they were super good!!!! Instead of using all the spices shown, I used Lawry’s seasons salt with some garlic salt.
Bonnie in TX
So so so good! I never thought about roasting radishes before I found this recipe! My boyfriend said – I don’t like radishes – UNTIL I made these! They are so good they almost never make it to the plate because he and I grab a few while we are cooking the rest of the meal. Definitely double the recipe to be sure you’ve got enough! I’ve now even started adding radishes to all of my roasted recipes including with my pot roast, roasted chicken and even with Thanksgiving turkey! Thanks so much for this – five stars!
Sharon
I began searching for recipes using radishes since I am getting them in my MissFits box. I came across this one and tried it right away in my air fryer. Yum! I had turnips too. I cut my radishes in half and cut a turnip up in similar size. Tossed them in a little avocado oil and seasoned with garlic powder. They were done enough for me in 10 mns. Yum! I am following Whole30 rules and this fit perfectly with 2 fried eggs for my breakfast.
Sharon
Can you make these ahead of time or do they get soggy after reheating?
Lauren
Hi Sharon, Yes, you can. Just reheat them in the oven or lightly fry.
Julie
Very tasty! I bought a bunch of local organic radishes for a veggie tray for a family gathering but I was the only one to eat them. I saw this recipe and decided to try it as I have never roasted radishes, but love many other roasted veggies. Great seasoning combo as well! Thanks so much! Will definitely make again!
Mike Schmidt
Absolutely fantastic! Guests love them…they are a special accompaniment. Don’t forget the smoked paprika. It makes a huge difference; it really complements the sweetness of the radishes!
Katie
Roasting veggies are truly the best way to eat them, and this recipe is amazing!! Love it!
Zuzana
Love this idea. Radishes can be on my table any time of the day
Irena Macri
I love roasted radishes. It’s one of those things that you don’t often think of making but they really do taste great when cooked. Loved your spices and seasonings in this recipe.
Yang
I love radishes cooked more than raw, but I have never tried roasting them. Great idea!
Laura
I love roasted veggies, so I know this is delicious!!
Anne Lawton
They are delicious and they look good too!
Zuzana
I have done them once but a bit differently. Maybe I should try your way. Looks just perfect
Chihyu
That was amazing! So flavorful and delicious!
Hope
What a great side dish! I have never tried roasted radishes before, so glad I gave them a go!
Kelly
I’ve recently gotten on the radish bandwagon, so would love to include this!
Josh
I love any roasted vegetable but adding some smoky flavors to these is a great idea. And they would be perfect on a salad – noting that for when I make these!
Kathryn
I never think to make radishes, but you’ve inspired me with these gorgeous pictures. These look so delicious! Pinning and making these soon!
Raia Todd
I have quite a few radish lovers in my family – They enjoyed this!
Joni Gomes
At first glance I thought it was potatoes! I adore radishes!
Mira
I was getting so bored of my regular roasted vegetables, this is a great recipe thanks.
Jean
LOVE roasted radishes and these are so perfect!
Leslie
Radishes are awesome, and roasting them is really a special treat, isn’t it? This recipe is fantastic!
Marisa F. Stewart
Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong. I tried roasting radishes and they were a huge disappointment. Of course, I didn’t do it like you do it. I guess I’ll try it again. I always thought they would be such a nice side with the chicken we make. I’m printing out your recipe.
Molly Kumar
I love baked radishes and your recipe was so easy to follow, Yumm!
Tisha
Never would have thought to roast radishes!! Such a great idea
Pam
I love radishes raw, but had no idea they could be roasted. This is my favorite way to cook lots of other veggies, so why not? I’ll give it a try.
Cindy
I get so many radishes in my farm box and I always just store them and put them out for fresh veggie appetizers. But this is next level. I’m so glad I tried it!
Suzy
What a brilliant idea! I hadn’t thought of roasting radish before!
Dannii
Oh I could totally snack on these! I love any kind of roasted vegetable.
Hik
Amazing! I’ve never been a fan of radishes and I stopped buying them a long time ago. A friend was leaving town and gave me a whole bunch of radishes and I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I tried this recipe and I’m in love … I will probably start buying radishes from now on! Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
Madeline E
I’m thinking of making roasted broccoli in the same pan, but that recipe calls for the oven to be at 450. Would that work if I leave it in for less time? Or do you think the radishes would burn? (I’ve never made radishes)
Lauren
I would suggest just keeping an eye on them and pulling them out once they are golden and crisp.
Rosanna
I’m not sure what I did wrong? Mine smelled faintly of alcohol and had an alcohol taste to them. Is that how it always is or did I forget something?
Lauren
Hi Rosanna, I have no idea as radishes don’t typically taste like alcohol. Maybe they were bad?
Lindsay
What dishes do you serves these with?
Lauren
Hi Lindsay! Any sort of meat dish. They’re great with roasted or grilled salmon!
Laura
So I’ve found another roasted radish lover – hooray!! They are so sweet and I spent all these years thinking they had to be sliced so thinly in salads because of how bitter they are. What a revelation. I’m just sorry that we’re in the same boat on another score – our shared inability to grow green things, even on a windowsill. Lucky for us there are farmers’ markets.
Lauren
Farmers markets are my best friend!
Alyssa
This might sound crazy but I have NEVER even though to cook radishes. Seriously, I always eat them raw and almost never enjoy them 🙂 I think these roasted version are about to change my tune!!
Kirsten
I do plant a few things from seed (peas and swiss chard thus far this year) but I also rely on Burpee to provide me with others–namely the Supersauce tomatoes which I cannot get enough of, and potted herbs and pepper plants. I seem to do better if someone else is in charge of the initial sprouting!
These radishes look lovely–I’m looking forward to them when the farm share starts back up!
Lauren
I’ve just decided that I am incapable of sprouting seeds. Even direct sowing doesn’t work for me. I think our soil is a little to heavy (it’s mainly clay) so already established plants do better.
Trish
Try sprouting your seed between 3-4 layers of paper towel. Put 2 layers in a shallow pan (like a glass lasagna dish). evenly sprinkle your seeds and cover with another layer of paper towel. Mist gently with water until it is moist but not soaking. Cover with plastic wrap so it creates a good seal, and put in a warm but NOT sunny place. Wait 3-5 days depending on what you are sprouting. Carefully lift the top layer to see whats happening in there. when you see the seeds sprout remove them from the dish and cut the paper towel in pieces to whatever size your starter pots are. Fill your pots almost full with moist soil and place the paper towel with the sprouted seed on it. cover with about 1/4-1/2 inch of soil and watch them grow. Works like a charm.
Rachel Didlake
I got those radish seeds that you simply put in the ground and in 18 days you have fully grown radishes! A quick confidence boast for any gardener. 🙂
Heather
I would never have thought to try and roast radishes, but I bet they are delicious.
Mirlandra
The radishes sound really neat. I have never had a cooked one and now I’m super curious. Thank you!
Florian
This is such a vibrant dish! I love the use of radishes here, thanks for sharing!
