#MondayMeals: A Ra-dish You Won't Want to Miss
This week we are featuring a delicious and nutritious recipe you won’t want to miss! Made with fresh and healthy ingredients that are locally sourced, Baked Roasted Radishes are the perfect addition to your weekly meal plan.
Radishes are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals that are good for the digestive system, support a healthy immune system, control blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Olive oil contains healthy fats and antioxidants which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, fight inflammation, and lower the risk of heart disease. Olive oil might also lower the risk of stroke and type 2 diabetes.
Food produced locally is more nutritious. This is because food contains the most nutrients around the time it is harvested. The longer food spends traveling, the less nutrition it contains. Less time traveling also means less exposure to harmful chemicals and less production of greenhouse gasses. What a tasteful way to decrease our carbon footprint!
Garlic Roasted Radishes
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. radishes, ends trimmed and halved
1 Tbsp. melted ghee or butter (may sub coconut oil or avocado oil)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2–3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 tsp. dried parsley, dried chives or dried dill
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425℉.
In a bowl, combine the radishes, melted ghee or butter, salt and pepper and toss until radishes are evenly coated. Save adding the minced garlic until just before the radishes are done roasting.
Spread radishes out in a large 9×13 inch baking dish. Don’t over crowd.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing every 10 or so minutes. Add the minced garlic and dried parsley and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until radishes are golden brown and cooked through.
Optional: Serve with a side of ranch for dipping or drizzling on top and garnish with parsley, dill or chives.
