Simply roasted this is an easy side dish. Perfect for a simple meal and also great on a buffet.
You know I’ve been talking about all the grilling we’ve been doing lately, right? There’s something about a big T-Bone on the Weber that makes my mouth water every time!
Yes we’re enjoying the gas grill…. but every now and then, it’s good to breakout the big-boy too!
Gotta love a great meal on the grill!
This time though I thought I would mix up our sides and rather than serve just the asparagus with the steak I broke out my roasted radishes recipe. Have you ever roasted radishes?

Can radishes be roasted?
- You betcha! Roasting the veg makes them slightly sweet and mellows the peppery finish you get from a raw radish. They are delicious roasted!
Do you have to peel a radish?
- While you can peel the radish, I certainly don’t. I love the pretty red color that comes from roasting. The bright red of the outside turns into a mauvish-red. The outside crust delicious, while the inside of the radishes gets light and fluffy!
Though it’s been hot, we’ve still been doing some BBQ’ing. Dan is quite the griller and I find it’s best when I just step out of the way and let him do his thing, because he does it very well!
I mean just look at that steak, right?
Grillmaster Dan hard at work! 😉

Roasted Potatoes and Radishes
We all know what roasted potatoes taste like and the radishes, well roasting mellows their peppery spice, lightens their color and sweetens the flavor just a bit.
They taste kinda like a roasted turnip with a peppery finish. We LOVE them – it’s definitely something you’re going to want to try! Plus they are a great low carb substitute if you omit the potatoes.

I never would have thought about adding radishes to the mix but I bet they add a new layer of flavour to the potatoes… and the flavour would be a little more mellow!
I’m such a lover of roasted veggies and the radish/potato combo is just great – thanks for stopping by Kaitie!
Cooked radishes are the best! I love that they lose that spiciness and get so juicy and sweet once they are grilled or roasted.
I think so too, thanks Kathy!!!
oh my goodness! I would have never thought to roast radishes! I’m definitely going to try this!
Awesome, let me know what you think Lara! Thanks for dropping by!
Whoah, these look good! And I love that barbecue pic! I’ve never tried roasting radishes but I’m totally doing it asap!
Thanks Kimberly, it was fun trying to get those pictures and I was so pleased! :D. Make sure you give those radishes a try, YUM!!

These sound amazing!!! Can’t wait to them a try! 🙂
Thank you! Love to hear what you think – thanks for stopping by!!
I love radishes. When I was a kid we always grew them in our garden and ate them in salads or sliced on crackers. I’ve never had them roasted. I must try this next time I find radishes at the market (now that I’m an adult I don’t have space for a garden like in my childhood). Pinning.
Us too – I’ve never outgrown my love for fresh radishes, I love that peppery bite! And one more way to work them into a meal? I love that too! Thanks for stopping by Joybee!
First of all, I love those grilling photos, they came out great. I’ve never actually roasted radishes but they sound great and I’m definitely going to try it out. Thanks for introducing me to the idea.
You bet Christine, enjoy!!
Just pinned this so I have it for garden season! I love the idea of roasted radishes!
Awesome, I hope you give them a try Pamela!
