# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Roasting completely tames the sharp bite of raw radishes into something mellow and buttery.
- Five ingredients and one baking sheet mean cleanup is almost nonexistent.
02 -
- Crowding the pan will steam the radishes instead of roasting them, so use two sheets if necessary.
- A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the whole dish in a way that salt alone cannot.
03 -
- Halve the radishes uniformly so they finish roasting at the same time and you avoid a mix of mushy and crunchy pieces.
- Let the baking sheet preheat in the oven for a few minutes before adding the radishes for an even deeper golden crust.
