Roasted Radish Crostini image

Of all the things you can do with a radish - slice it into salads, chop it into salsa, shred it into slaw or top it with a thick layer of sweet butter and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt - the last thing most people think to do with it is cook it. But you should. Heat transforms the spicy, crisp and crunchy radish into something sweet, succulent and mellow. Here, pan-roasted radishes are served atop toast with a quick sauce made of butter, anchovies, garlic, red pepper and olive oil.

Time 25m

Yield 2 light meals or 4 side dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch radishes
9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter
8 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
Pinch red pepper flakes
8 thin slices crusty bread, toasted
4 teaspoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Remove leaves and stems from radishes; trim the tails. Cut larger radishes lengthwise into sixths and smaller radishes lengthwise into quarters.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil, radishes in a single layer (do not crowd) and salt and pepper. Cook radishes, without moving them, until they are lightly colored on undersides, about 3 minutes. Shake pan and continue cooking until tender, about 3 more minutes. (You can also roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes.)
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in anchovies, garlic, red pepper and remaining oil. Reduce heat and simmer about 4 minutes.
  • Brush each slice of toast with sauce and top with several radish wedges. Spoon additional sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I used a variety of radishes in this recipe, including red, white, and purple. They all roasted beautifully and added a lovely pop of color to the crostini.

I added a sprinkle of chopped walnuts to the crostini before baking them. It added a nice crunchy texture.

I didn't have any goat cheese on hand, so I used cream cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would prefer a simpler crostini recipe.

I found the crostini to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit of olive oil to the radishes before roasting them next time.

The radishes were a bit too spicy for me, but the rest of the crostini was delicious.

These crostini are a great way to use up leftover radishes. I had a bunch of radishes that were starting to wilt and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of radishes, but these roasted radishes were delicious! They had a nice caramelized flavor and were the perfect topping for the crostini.

Roasted Radish Crostini was a delightful treat. The radishes, roasted to perfection, had a subtly sweet and slightly spicy flavor that paired perfectly with the creamy goat cheese and peppery arugula.
