Main Ingredients

1 bunch TRF radishes, greens and radishes separated & washed.

1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce or liquid aminos

1 tsp local honey

1/2 tsp butter, room temperature

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Recipe Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Cut radishes in half and toss soy sauce, honey, butter and radishes together. Let sit for about 5 minutes.

  2. On a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed lightly with oil, place radishes "face down" and put in the oven to roast for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to keep the remaining sauce in the bowl and not add to the baking sheet. While radishes are baking add lemon juice to the remaining sauce and toss radish tops.

  3. Once radishes are done roasting, toss with radish tops. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve.
