Radishes?!?!

Never messed around with a radish before. I tend to avoid them. Not caring for radishes when they appear on a salad. Radishes are just OK in my book. That is, until now...

I bought them the other week (yes, they have a longer shelf life) at the grocery store because I wanted to find a way to cook these guys to my liking. And I did. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Roasted Radish!

The Roasted Radish
Radishes washed and cut in half
1 tbs butter
two squeezes from a lemon worth of juice
salt to taste
Slice radishes in half and place in a baking dish with butter and lemon juice. Cook at 400 degrees for about 20-30 min? Check tenderness with a knife. And what emerges from the oven is brilliant. I would guess its more of a summery side to a meal, but maybe not. One things for sure, its pretty and will certainly beautify your plate. It has that root-veggie-awesomeness and with the added lemon and butter, it's delish!

Here is a link to the article that pointed me in the right direction. NY Times article on roasting radishes!
