Radishes are yummy!

That’s right, I said it…. Radishes are yummy… ESPECIALLY when roasted!  

Bought a bag of radishes with the best intention to have them as snacks or in your salad and you never remember them until 2 months later when they’re all shriveled up?  Yeah, me too.  I had 2 bags of radishes in the fridge and thought to myself, ‘’I wonder if I can roast them?  Is that a thing?’’ So I looked it up and yes, it is!!!!  Found this simple recipe online at: http://www.food.com/recipe/roasted-radishes-287888 and thought I’d try it.  It was delicious!!!   

Another bonus?  Besides being low carb and gluten free, radishes are dirt cheap!  AND they are super good for you!  Radishes are loaded with vitamins and minerals, protect against many cancers and diseases, and can even help with urinary tract infections – who knew????

I had added some coconut oil to give it a different taste but may omit it next time and try roasting with chives and add lemon juice after they’ve cooked. Also saw that you can make this with Thyme or Rosemary…

Here is how I prepped them:

Ingredients

•     1 bags of radishes, halved

•     1 Tbsp olive oil

•     salt and pepper to taste

•     1tsp of coconut oil (to give it a different taste)

Instructions

•     Cut the radishes and toss them in a bowl with the ingredients above.

•    Throw onto a roasting pan and bake for 25 minutes at 450 degrees (F) 

FINAL RESULT!  YUMMY!!!!!
