Crispy Parmesan Radish Bites

Think crispy smashed potatoes, but made with radishes. Roasting mellows their peppery bite, while Parmesan gives them a salty, crispy crust. Great as a snack, side dish or appetizer with a creamy dip.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches radishes, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Salt + freshly cracked pepper
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  2. Simmer whole radishes in salted water for about 8–10 minutes, until just fork-tender. Drain and pat very dry.
  3. Place the radishes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass.
  4. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, Parmesan, herbs, salt and pepper.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.
  6. Finish with fresh herbs and a little extra Parmesan.

Serve them hot with garlic aioli, ranch or a sour cream + herb dip.
