What is your favorite vegetable? How about your top five favorite vegetables?
Was this one of them?
I am almost certain that few, if any people, would choose radishes as one of their favorite vegetables. However, after this recipe, you just might change your mind! I am about to prove to you that not only are radishes good for you, but when cooked right, they are quite tasty!
Roasted Radish Chips
Servings: 1
Ingredients
8-10 radishes, washed and sliced into thin pieces
EVOO cooking spray
fine sea salt
black pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
*Sorry, I do not measure the spices for this recipe! 😉
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray generously with EVOO cooking spray.
3. Place radish slices onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Spray the radish slices with EVOO cooking spray.
5. Sprinkle the radish slices with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
6. Roast for 15 minutes.
7. Remove radishes from the oven and flip. Roast an additional 5-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Be certain to watch them carefully towards the end of the roasting process to prevent burning.
Roasting radishes will forever change your view of this normally not-so-popular vegetable. The roasting process almost entirely removes the bitter taste that is normally associated with radishes. Instead, you are left with a crispy radish chip that resembles the taste of a starchy vegetable, like a potato. The seasonings take the delicious flavor of this vegetable over the top. I can promise you, you have never tasted a radish that tastes as good as these!
I enjoy eating these as a night-time snack. I generally pair them with other vegetables, like carrots and celery, and love to dip them in hummus or Dijon mustard. I am pretty certain you will never find a chip-based snack containing only 20 calories for an entire serving!
Roasted radish chips also make a great addition to a salad.
Still skeptical? Give roasting radishes a try! I mean really…what have you got to lose? 😉

Okay, so I am definitely intrigued as I would never think to do this, but you make them sound pretty dang good..
You should seriously try them! Roasting them gets rid of nearly all of the “bitter” taste that I normally associate with radishes.
Wow! I will be trying this, what a great idea! I usually steer-clear of radishes but this may make me change my mind. Thanks!
Let me know what you think!
I actually really like radishes and can’t wait to try them like this!
Yay for radishes!
The only time I have had radishes is in a salad raw. I will definitely have to try roasting them. That is such a good idea. 🙂
I swear they taste 10 times better roasted!
Im definitely going to give this a try, it seems so strange but Im intrigued 🙂
Trust me, you definitely should!
I love it! I make chips out of sweet potato, zucchini and turnips. I’ve never tried radish. But now I will–thanks!
Ooo..I will have to try that with turnips. I have been wanting to cook with them but haven’t figured out exactly how I wanted to go about it. Great idea!
I went to the grocery store to pick up some radishes for THIS recipe, and couldn’t find them anywhere!!
WHAT?? Who knew they were so popular? Or, maybe just completely NOT popular outside of the States. I hope you find some!
Hmmm. I have never done this before but I am definitely curious! I will have to try it.
Let me know if you try them :).
I’ve always wanted to like radishes, it just hasn’t happened. If these are as good as you say, they might be able to redeem themselves.
I have faith that you can like radishes! 😉
radishes are always on sale but I never know what to do with them so I don’t buy them, maybe I should try this out…
You most definitely should. Take advantage of those sale prices :).
I’ve also never roasted radishes sounds yummy though! I have been meaning to make chia out of them by dehydrating them:)
I had no idea you could make chia out of them. Thanks for the fun fact! 😉
You welcome!
What an awesome idea! I absolutely love radishes!
I am so glad to hear that there are people out there loving radishes!

i actually just bought a bunch of radishes last week for a salad and still have a few left. will have to try this!
Please do! And then you will want to go buy more! 😉
im not a huge fan of raw radishes but cooked like this makes them look sooo good! def won me over to give them another try lol
Yes, you really should give radishes a second chance! I think they can still win you over ;).
OH my goodness, I am SO making this!! I do like radishes, but don’t eat them all that often!
Let me know how they turn out for you!
Ahh, where were you 2 weeks ago when I harvested a bunch of radishes and didn’t know what to do with them?! Well, next time I’ll have to try this. 🙂
Haha, now you will be prepared!! 😉
I actually like radishes and a few weeks ago, I was drowning in them because I had so many coming in my CSA share. I would have loved this recipe back then. Oh well, I will get them again and then I will roast my radishes.
Let me know how they turn out for you when you try them!
I have NEVER eaten a radish before let alone like a chip…hmmmm interesting idea!
Seriously?? Wow, you most definitely need to try these then!
A bunch of red radishes is always in my fridge. What a fantastic idea to make roasted radish chips. Can’t wait to try it!!!
Let me know what you think!
Never would have thought to roast radishes! Great idea
I absolutely recommend that you give them a try. Prepare to be surprised by how tasty radishes can be!
What is EVOO?
Yummy!!!
You bet!!
These radishes were AWESOME! Thank you for sharing such tasty recipes with the world! I look forward to trying more.
I’m SO glad you enjoyed them! It’s been awhile since I have made them. I need to get them back into my life!
do you eat them right away warm or is it ok to eat them at room temperature (will they stay crisp). I want to take them as an appetizer to a party along with ranch dressing.
