This roasted radish recipe can convert even the most avid radish hater into a fan. When cooked, radishes lose their spiciness and get considerably milder and sweeter. This can make these low-calorie, low-carb little jewels a great replacement for carb-heavy, high-glycemic potatoes. And no, they don’t taste exactly like potatoes when they’re cooked, but they are very similar. When compared to potatoes, radishes are more nutritious—they contain more water, calcium, vitamin C, and folate with less starch and sugar. Radishes may also help protect against diabetes by reducing the accumulation of free radicals and glucose absorption while improving glucose uptake and energy metabolism. If you’re craving a side of potatoes with your next meal, give these quick and easy roasted radishes a try. You just might fall in love!
