Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash radishes, trim off tops and cut in half.
2
Add radishes to a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a teaspoon kosher salt. Mix to combine. Roast for 18 minutes, tossing halfway through.
3
While radishes are roasting, make your tahini sauce. Add tahini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, about 1 teaspoon lemon zest, the juice of 1 lemon, garlic, parsley, mint, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk together, until combined. Add in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
4
Serve a layer of tahini sauce in a bowl, top with roasted radishes and garnish with fresh, chopped herbs (as desired).

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Choose Medium Radishes for Even Roasting 🥗Select radishes of uniform size (about 1-1.5 inches diameter) to ensure they cook evenly and develop consistent sweetness without some burning while others remain firm.
- Pat Dry Before Roasting for Better Browning 💧Thoroughly dry your radishes after washing and halving to remove excess moisture, which allows them to develop a caramelized exterior and concentrate their natural sweetness.
- Toast Tahini Before Mixing for Deeper Flavor 🌰Lightly warm your tahini in a pan for 1-2 minutes before whisking into the sauce to unlock nutty undertones that complement the roasted radishes beautifully.
- Reserve Radish Roasting Oil for the Sauce 🫒Use the flavorful olive oil drippings from your roasted radishes to thin out the tahini sauce instead of plain water, adding depth and cohesion to the dish.
- Add Fresh Herbs at Service, Not During Prep 🌿Chop and fold mint and parsley into the tahini sauce just before serving to preserve their vibrant color, aroma, and fresh flavor against the warm roasted radishes.
