More About This Recipe

• Fall yields a new and exciting crop of vegetables that are just calling out to be eaten. Most of us overlook the lowly radish, but I’m here to tell you that this root veggie will brighten up any dark, cold fall night. Yes, you heard that right. Pop those lovely red rounds in a hot oven and roast away. You’ll be amazed at how delicious roasted radishes taste, and this recipe highlights what you’ve been missing. Okay, we’re going to make some of these radishes look pretty. Did you know you can make a radish look like a rose? Here’s how: First you’ll need to clean the radishes, then slice off the tops and bottoms. Slice each radish in half. You see the red, rounded portion of each radish? You’re going to use a paring knife to cut patterns in this part of the radish. For a rose, slice thin cuts all the way around the radish, starting at the center point and moving out. These will not be sitting on the plate for long. Once you have a taste, I bet the radish will become one of your new favorite vegetables!
