Have you ever tried roasting radishes in the oven? Roasted radishes have a similar taste to roasted potatoes. They get crunchy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside, with the sharp flavor naturalized when baked. Due to the similar taste and texture when baked they are a good low carb alternative to regular roasted potatoes. But why I love making them is due to the color that it adds to the meal. I truly believe that colorful food makes you happier, makes a dinner more interesting and festive. This roasted radish salad is served with crunchy green leafs, a herby and fresh yogurt dressing, rich, tangy and creamy feta cheese and crunchy pomegranate seeds and sunflower sprouts. This salad is really such a wonderful mix of textures, colors and flavors and pairs well with just about everything. You can serve this salad for lunch, side dish or make a bigger bowl and have it for main course. It is both gluten, grain free and low carb.
A few tips:
- Bake the radishes on high heat in the oven to make sure they get browed on the outside, soft and tender on the inside but still not over baked.
- Toss the radishes thoroughly in olive oil to make sure all parts are covered to get a brown and crunchy outside. But don’t use too much oil to get them too greasy.
- I used parsley and mint when making my herb dressing but you can use any herbs or chives that you like or have at home.
- Serve this salad warm, it taste much better warm when the warm radishes combines with the fresh and herby yogurt sauce and the creamy and tangy feta cheese.
