# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The roasting completely transforms radishes from spicy and crisp to buttery and sweet
  • Its one of those side dishes that makes people think you cooked something complicated
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed radishes instead of roasted ones
  • The glaze will bubble up and get concentrated in the oven so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes
03 -
  • Look for radishes that feel heavy for their size with no soft spots or mushy leaves
  • Use a really large bowl for tossing so the glaze coats everything evenly
