I have loved radishes all my life - literally since I started to eat solid foods as a baby. My Dad loved them and by default they were a huge part of my life and one of the earlier foods I recall pulling and eating fresh from the ground as a toddler (radishes and carrots).
But I digress. The point of this quick fly-by post is simply to remind people you can eat radishes cooked - not just raw or on salads!
Since we are primarily and usually lowcarb and/or keto we don't get to enjoy potatoes often, but radishes and cauliflower fill the space quite easily. Cauliflower for mashed and radishes for the rest.
When making a roast, I add radishes in place of potatoes. Same for chicken, one-sheet pan dinners, onions roasted 'potatoes' and more.
This particular meal, I popped some radishes in a cast iron skillet along with some avocado oil, garlic and green onions. Seasoned with simply salt and pepper. Roasted until the greens and radishes were a nice golden brown and served along side our main entree'.
