Ingredients
  

1 lb radishes, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced finely

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Radishes: Rinse the radishes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut off the green tops and tiny roots, then slice each radish in half. This will create a flat surface and allow them to roast evenly.

      Make the Herb Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a fragrant herb-infused oil.

        Toss the Radishes: Add the halved radishes to the bowl with the herb mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the radishes until each piece is thoroughly coated with the aromatic oil and seasonings.

          Arrange for Roasting: Transfer the coated radishes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them evenly in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded to allow for proper roasting.

            Roasting Time: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Roast the radishes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they become tender and their edges start to caramelize. Remember to stir them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once they are beautifully roasted, remove the radishes from the oven, and carefully transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top to add a vibrant touch and fresh flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve your garlic herb roasted radishes warm as a delightful side dish alongside any main course, or toss them into a salad to add a burst of flavor and crunch.
