Did you know that roasting radishes makes them way sweeter and removes their famous sharp bite? Neither did I until I had an abundance of radishes and started experimenting with ways to cook them! They mellow out and caramelize in the oven, proving my hypothesis that roasted veggies = best veggies!!!

I roasted my radishes with asparagus and flavored them with fresh garlic, olive oil, and salt and pepper. You could substitute the olive oil with melted vegan butter, but I think the olive oil has a greater depth of flavor that comes through during the roasting process.

I recommend this side as a way to change up the usual roasted veggie routine, and experience the wonder of the roasted radish! You’ll never be the same again!
