If you can stand to turn on the oven for 20 minutes this summer, make these roasted radishes with balsamic vinegar. They’re much more enjoyable to eat than the raw variety, if you ask me.
Cooking the root vegetable at a high temperature not only brings out its natural sweetness but also tames some of the heat, resulting in a softer flavor and texture.
Serve roasted radishes on their own, as part of a cheese platter or in green salad – and with a glass of wine as a special treat. Try one and you’ll be hooked.
