Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh radishes, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (for added brightness)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will allow the radishes to caramelize beautifully, enhancing their natural sweetness.

    Prepare the Radishes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved radishes with the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the radishes thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

      Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned radishes to a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Be sure to leave some space between the radishes to allow for even roasting and to achieve that desirable golden color.

        Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast the radishes for 25-30 minutes. At the 15-minute mark, use a spatula to toss them gently and promote even cooking. The radishes are ready when they are fork-tender and exhibit a lovely caramelized appearance.

          Add the Finishing Touches: Once the radishes are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the lemon zest and fresh chopped parsley over the hot radishes. Toss gently to incorporate, as this will brighten the flavors and add a fresh note to the dish.

            Serve: Transfer the roasted radishes to a serving bowl or plate, showcasing their vibrant colors. Serve warm as a delightful side dish, perfect for complementing grilled meats or enhancing vegetarian meals.
