Often considered only for use in salads or on a crudité tray, the radish is also delicious roasted. This round red root takes on an unexpected mellow, rich flavor that works well with the taste and texture of the cauliflower when roasted. The stunning color combination of these two vegetables creates a flavorful dish that is also a visual treat.

Ingredients
- 1 pound cauliflower cut into bite size pieces
- 1 bunch of radishes cleaned and cut in half
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- red pepper flake
Method
-
I use my 13″ x 9″ shallow glass baking dish for roasting vegetables. I start by drizzling about 2 tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of my pan. Next I add the cauliflower (cut into bite size pieces), and radishes (quartered or halved depending on size) to the pan and toss to evenly distribute the oil.
-
The term roasting refers to cooking food uncovered, and at a high temperature. For this dish I set my oven to 400° F. Place the pan in the hot oven and roast for 20 minutes. Toss well to ensure even roasting. Return to the oven for another 15 – 20 minutes.
-
When the cauliflower has taken on a light golden color, remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
-
A bit of red pepper flake adds a nice touch if desired.
Cooks Notes
Depending on your oven and the size of the vegetables you may require more or less roasting time.
Wouldn’t have thought of this combo…. Cheers
It really is a tasty combo. Most people so not think about roasting a radish. They make a delicious mild peppery flavor with the cauliflower and add some nice color too. Hope you give it a try!
