Roasted Radishes

Okay, here is a quick recipe that might be of interest.  I saw one of the contestants cooking it on Ironchef America on Food Network a couple of weeks back and thought ... yumm! 

1 / 2 bunches of radishes (Being that there is not a vast choice in my area - I used the normal red radishes you see in all grocery stores).  Trimmed and cleaned

2 - 3 tbsp of olive oil
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
2 - 3 tbsp of melted butter
fresh chopped rosemary or thyme
fresh minced garlic

Toss the radishes, salt and pepper, olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a bowl.  pour into a baking dish. Pour metled butter over top.  Cook in preheated 400 deg over for approximately 40 - 50 minutes until radishes are fork tender. 

We made these as a side for Easter dinner and BOY! were they good.  I even tossed some into my salad as a garnish.  The radishes have a slight sweet taste, loose that really sharp bite that they are known to have, and have a peppery finish to them.  Very nice! 

Give them a try - you might like them!
