Roasted Radishes, flavoured with garlic & lemon, are an unusual, tasty side or salad. Roasting both mellows the radishes & makes them juicy.
Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C Fan / Gas 6 with a roasting tray inside.
Wash the radishes and any leaves very well in a bowl of cold water. Drain.
Cut off any long, straggling roots and the stems.
If your radishes have leaves discard any tough stems, but keep the leaves.
Cut the radishes in half and place in a bowl.
Season with salt and pepper and drizzle in the olive oil.
Toss well.
Remove the preheat tray from the oven and add the radishes, cut side down.
Put in the oven and leave for 8 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and toss the radishes with the garlic.
If you have radish leaves, toss them in now too.
Turn the radishes so they're cut side up and return to the oven.
After another 2 minutes, check that the radishes are caramelized, soft, and done to your liking.
If not, return to the oven for another minute or 2.
Transfer the radishes, leaves and any tray juices to a serving bowl.
Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve.
