Don’t get rid of those radish greens after you trim them! Add them to a salad or sandwich, or make some pesto. They are edible with a mild flavor.

You can use whatever radish variety you like or can find. Just make sure they are not soft, and that the greens if still attached when you buy them) are still nice and green with no browning.

I advise against buying already trimmed radishes in plastic bags. Some grocery stores carry them, but they are not very fresh and many are often starting to brown and are not able to be used. 

Variations for Roasted Radishes

This recipe is amazingly versatile. I love these with a drizzle of basil vinaigrette or tahini sauce.

Try seasoning them with a little cumin, sumac, or fresh herbs like thyme or tarragon.

They are wonderful tossed in just a little melted unsalted butter after roasting, or you can try tossing them in some garlic scape butter!
