If you haven’t tried roasting or pan-frying radishes yet, I hope this convinces you. Once roasted they have a sweeter taste but still maintain that crunchy exterior. These are pan fried in minutes and tossed with Aleppo pepper, giving a bit more kick. If you can find fresh radishes with their tops on, keep them on and use them when frying or roasting. They’ll get crispy like kale chips and also contain lots of health benefits too. This is great for gluten free, grain-free, vegetarian, diabetes and low sugar conditions or diets.
