If radishes are too pungent for you raw, try roasting them as they become sweeter and distinctively earthy. The leaves are torn in this dish and made into a salad with lemon, mint and sea salt.

SERVES

45 Mins

Ingredients

1/2 cup ruby red radishes, quartered
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, to season
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons honey
3 cups mixed fresh bitter greens (mustard, dandelion, radish tops)
1/4 cup roughly torn fresh mint leaves
Flaky sea salt, to season

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the radishes with one tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt.
Place the radishes on the prepared baking sheet and roast until fork-tender and a shiny, golden brown, about 25 minutes. Set aside until ready to plate.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining three tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of kosher salt. Set aside for serving.
Use your hands to gently tear the bitter greens into bite-size pieces and plate them.
Drizzle the dressing over the plated greens.
Top with the mint and roasted radishes and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to season.
