The ruling assumption about radishes is that they are only to be eaten raw. True enough, a really crisp, crunchy, peppery radish needs nothing more than a sprinkling of salt to be enjoyed at its prime. However, a hot oven works the same magic on radishes as it does on other vegetables. They become sweeter and mellower, with a fuller flavor.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds radishes, trimmed, scrubbed, and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl toss radishes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the radishes in a 15×10×1-inch baking pan. Roast, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring once.
- For chive vinaigrette, in a screw-top jar combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the white wine vinegar, chives, mustard, pepper, and salt. Drizzle vinaigrette over radishes; toss to coat.
