Roasted Onions and Radishes

Have you ever roasted radishes?  As with most vegetables, roasting brings out their sweetness.   It's CSA time and we had radishes from our own garden.  I wanted to do something else besides just serve them on salads.  These were sweet with just a little bit of crunch and a nice tang from the balsamic.


 Roasted Radishes and Onions
  • 3-4 bunches of radishes- trimmed, topped and tailed (about 20 radishes depending on the size, allow 2-3 per person)
  • 4-6 onions (I used large green onions) peeled, cut onion into 4 or 6 wedges (like a wedge of lemon)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (approx.) to sprinkle over
  • salt to sprinkle (Kosher, Madon)
  • Drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze

Method

Toss the radishes and onion wedges in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in a hot oven (400) for approximately 35-40 minutes, stirring a couple of times until the onions are crispy and the radishes fairly tender when tested with a sharp knife tip.
Sprinkle over the balsamic vinegar.   Serve as a side dish or as a vegetable dish along side roast meat.

  2. The first time I had roasted radishes was at a gourmet group gathering hosted by friends. We loved them and I've made them several times since. They added the fresh radish greens too which were delicious. I like the idea of combining them with onions!
