This salad however requires no skill, tension, or problem solving. Love that. Roasted radishes! Where have you been all my life? These spicy little guys turn sweet, and taste just like turnips when roasted. Being summer, these were destined for a salad, just add Gorgonzola crumbles, tomatoes from my garden and a mix o’ leaves. Oh, and don’t forget a drizzle of blue cheese dressing!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does roasting change the flavor of radishes?
Roasting mellows the sharp, peppery bite of raw radishes and brings out a subtle sweetness. They become tender and slightly caramelized on the edges. 
What temperature and time works best for roasting radishes?
Roast at around 400F for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through. They should be golden on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.
What greens pair well with roasted radish salad?
Peppery arugula or tender butter lettuce both complement roasted radishes nicely. The contrast between warm roasted vegetables and cool greens adds good texture.
