Roasted Radishes & Leeks with Thyme

By garciamoss

Radishes become sweet and tender when roasted in a hot oven in this easy radish recipe. If the roasting doesn’t mellow the bite of the radish enough, stir in a sprinkle of sugar or honey along with the butter and thyme.

Ingredients

• 2 bunches radishes (about 1 pound), halved if small, quartered if large
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 large leek, white and light green part only, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Combine radishes, oil, salt and pepper in a large roasting pan.
Roast for 10 minutes. Stir in leek. Continue roasting until the radishes are lightly browned and tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Stir in butter and thyme; serve warm.
