Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the radishes to a perfect tender texture with a slight caramelization.
Prepare the radishes: Using a sharp knife, slice smaller radishes in half and quarter larger radishes to create evenly sized pieces that will roast uniformly.
Arrange the radishes: Place the sliced radishes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Season the radishes: Drizzle the olive oil over the radishes, then sprinkle sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes evenly. Toss the radishes gently to coat them thoroughly with the seasoning and oil.
Spread out evenly: Spread the radishes out in a single layer, cut side down, making sure there is a little space between each piece to allow for even roasting.
Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast the radishes for 30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve: Remove the roasted radishes from the oven and serve immediately as a tasty side dish.

Notes

Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
You can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
For a variation, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting for a bright finish.
Make sure radishes are cut evenly to promote uniform cooking.
