Radishes are a root vegetable that’s very low in carbs and high in fiber. While most root vegetables should be avoided on a low-carb diet, this is not the case.

Radishes provide only 3g carbohydrates per 100g, according to the USDA website. They are a great source of minerals and vitamins such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6.

You can use radishes in tons of other different ways. For example, enjoy fried radishes or steam them and use them as a substitute for potatoes in potato salad or soups.

If you are looking for a great low-carb and keto side dish for your steak, these garlic parmesan roasted radishes are the perfect match. Radishes taste a little spicy and watery, but the magic happens when we roast them in the oven. They turn in this delicious potato replacement.

We absolutely love them from the bottom of our hearts.

Ingredients For These Garlic Parmesan Roasted Radishes

Such a few ingredients are needed to create a delicious side dish. Here is everything you need to make it:

  • Radishes – make sure that you wash and dry them extremely well.
  • Garlic Cloves – you can also use powdered garlic, but I like using fresh ones for an intense taste.
  • Rosemary – this adds a lot of flavor to the dish, but you can replace it with oregano or dried parsley if you don’t like it.
  • Butter – if you want to make a vegan recipe, you can replace it with coconut or avocado oil.
  • Parmesan Cheese – use freshly shredded parmesan for an intense flavor.

How to Make Perfect Roasted Radishes

I’ll tell you the secret of how to make perfect roasted radishes every time. 

All you have to do after you season the radishes is to bake them long enough. Radishes have a higher water content than potatoes, so cooking takes longer. 

Here is everything you have to do to create these delicious roasted radishes:

  1. Buy fresh radishes and quarter them. 
  2. Add your favorite seasonings. I love to use rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Then cover them in melted butter and a good amount of parmesan cheese.
  3. Then cover them in melted butter and a good amount of parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake them for about 25-30 minutes or until tender.

Storing Ideas

  • Fridge: Refrigerate any leftover roasted radishes in an airtight container. They’ll last 3 to 5 days in the fridge.
  • Freezer: Roasted radishes should not be frozen because the texture will degrade after freezing and thawing.

Serving Ideas

These Garlic Roasted Radishes are a low-carb side dish that’s perfect, especially for spring and summer. Here are some great ideas for serving them:

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Radishes?

Radish dates back to antiquity, originating on the border between Europe and West Asia. They are essential ingredients of healthy salads, but many eat them raw on their own. This is for those who appreciate their taste, their spicy taste not being to the liking of many. 

How To Choose The Perfect Radishes

The riper they are, the spiciest the radishes are, so if you don’t like their spice too much, it’s a good idea to choose and buy younger radishes.

Radishes generally last quite well in the refrigerator but must be consumed within two weeks from the date of purchase to enjoy the full content of vitamins.

Are Radishes Healthy?

Sure, here is a list of some of the health benefits of consuming radishes:

  • Promotes digestion – radish is a natural remedy for digestive disorders; it is recommended to eat radish in case of liver problems, anorexia, indigestion, and intestinal fermentation;
  • Helps relieve kidney stone disease and symptoms, rickets, anemia, arthritis, demineralization, and rheumatism;
  • Strengthens hair and nails – to improve the condition of hair and nails, it is worth consuming radish every day; it will prevent hair loss and nail breakage;

Can I Make This Recipe In An Air Fryer?

Sure, you can also prepare these radishes in the air fryer. 

  1. Start by preparing the radishes just like I did in this recipe.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees and roast the radishes for 20 to 25 minutes. Remember to toss the radishes halfway through the cooking time.
  3. In the end, you can sprinkle over them the parmesan cheese and enjoy.

Notes

The nutrition facts are for 1/4 of the entire recipe. My radishes were medium to small, and each bunch had 12 radishes. So with the ingredients, I used the serving size is about six whole roasted radishes. 
Don’t try to roast them at a higher temperature; the result will not be the same. Stick with a lower temperature, even if it takes longer to bake. It’s worth it. Adjust the roasting time depending on the size of the radishes and your oven type.
