If you’ve tried my fried radishes before, you probably get why I love them so much. Crispy potato-like texture and a sweet, buttery taste, all in a pretty veggie package? Yes, please. But even though those are quick, standing by the stove is still very much a hands-on activity. Not the case with these roasted radishes ! Just a few minutes of prep, and they’re out of my sight until I get to eat them. Plus, roasting brings out their natural sweetness even more. Try this healthier alternative to traditional roasted potatoes , and you’ll see why I’m obsessed with this radish recipe.

Why You’ll Love My Roasted Radishes Recipe

• Sweet, savory, and buttery flavor – Although raw radishes have a sharp bite, they become naturally sweet when you cook them. I throw in a few simple spices, but the secret ingredient that really elevates these is a touch of butter added at the end (read: all the flavor, no burning). I’ve used this trick for dozens of different veggies, from sauteed zucchini to air fryer potatoes , and it works beautifully for this radish recipe, too.
• Potato-like texture – As they roast, the radishes develop a soft, tender inside, while the edges get caramelized and golden. Think potato vibes!
• Easy to make – Simple ingredients (just 4 of ’em, plus salt & pepper). Fast 5-minute prep. Hands off cooking. Major flavor and texture. Yep, this dish is a busy weeknight dream.
• Light side with a comfort food feel – If you need a low carb potato swap or are looking to add more veggies to your meals, but still crave comfort food (like me), these roasted radishes are your healthy side dish .

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my roasted radishes, what each one does in my recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Radishes – You’ll need about 2 bunches of radishes for my recipe (make my radish salad if you have more!). Wash them, and trim away the roots and greens. Some roasted radish recipes cook them whole or cut in half, but I prefer to quarter them because it provides more surface area to brown and caramelize… a.k.a. the best part!
• Olive Oil – Oil helps the spices to stick and helps with that nice, caramelized exterior. I used regular olive oil , but you can also use extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
• Seasonings – I keep the spices simple in my radish recipe: Garlic powder (optional, but totally recommend), sea salt, and black pepper. See my Seasoning Variations below if you prefer stronger flavors.
• Butter – For that buttery finish! Since we already salted the radishes, you’ll want to use unsalted butter , here. You could also use my compound butter instead for even more flavor.

How To Roast Radishes

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Prep & season. Preheat your oven. Toss the raw radishes with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
2. Spread them out. Arrange the radishes in a single layer on a baking sheet .

1. Pop in the oven. Roast radishes in the oven, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fork tender.
2. Add the butter. My favorite part? Adding the hot roasted radishes to a bowl and melting butter over them for a savory, buttery coating. Don’t skip it!

My Recipe Tips

• Cut the radishes to similar sizes. This ensures they’ll cook at the same rate. When I have some larger ones, I cut those into eighths to be a similar size as the quarters of the smaller ones.
• Don’t use parchment paper. It reduces browning and crispness. If you’re worried about sticking, you can brush or spray your pan with oil before adding the veggies.
• Make sure each piece touches the pan. Every radish needs its fair share of heat and airflow to develop those crispy, caramelized edges that we all love.
• Prefer them darker or extra crispy? You can just roast your radishes for a little longer than I did, or place under the broiler at the end.
• Add the butter only after roasting. If you add it before, it will burn.

Seasoning Variations

Anything that tastes good on potatoes is great for radishes, too! Here are some of my variations you might like:

• Herby – Mix in 2 teaspoons of my Italian seasoning mix , or 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs. I think dill, rosemary, and thyme pair particularly well with radishes.
• Parmesan – My fave variation! Add 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese to the other seasonings, and toss to coat. The parm makes for extra crispy radishes and adds a layer of flavor. You can also just sprinkle it on after roasting.
• Ranch – Try blending in a tablespoon of my ranch seasoning mix for a zesty, tangy pop.
• Cajun – Want to spice things up? Sprinkle a tablespoon of Cajun seasoning over the radishes. If you’re using my homemade Cajun blend , you can skip the salt since it’s already in there.
• Lemon – Swap out the black pepper in my radish recipe for 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning . Or keep it simple and just add a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice.
• Other Spices – It’s easy to get creative with this roasted radish recipe! Sometimes I add a dash of onion powder or paprika, other times a sprinkle of chili powder for a kick.

Storage Instructions

• Store: When I have leftovers of these, they store quite well! Just keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
• Reheat: Pop them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes to crisp up the edges again. I also love throwing them into salads or my breakfast hash .
• Freeze: Allow to cool, transfer to a freezer-safe container or a zip lock bag, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Serving Suggestions

Whatever you serve with potatoes, you can serve with this roasted radish recipe — all you need is a protein! Here are some of my top choices:

• Chicken – While the radishes are roasting in the oven, I like to cook creamy chicken recipes on the stovetop, like creamy lemon chicken or mushroom chicken . The radishes are perfect for sopping up the sauces.
• Pork – My most popular (and my own favorite) pork recipe is air fryer pork chops ! But the sweetness of the roasted radishes also pairs well with honey garlic pork chops .
• Seafood – Pan seared salmon is usually my go-to, but fried cod is another favorite! If you want to get fancy, you can’t go wrong with my bacon wrapped scallops or butter poached lobster — and drizzle the radishes with the remaining lemon butter sauce.
• Steak – Instead of steak and potatoes , make steak and radishes for a healthier twist! You can whip up a juicy sirloin steak for everyday meals, but for special occasions, filet mignon is my weakness.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar

• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
