A simple yet elegant side dish featuring roasted radishes with a rich garlic butter sauce and fragrant lemon thyme. The roasting process mellows the radishes' peppery bite, creating a surprisingly sweet and savory flavor.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, toss radishes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until radishes are tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
While the radishes are roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon thyme and lemon juice.
Once the radishes are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the radishes and toss to coat.
Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
If lemon thyme is unavailable, regular thyme can be substituted. You can also use other herbs like rosemary or parsley to taste.
Roasting time may vary depending on the size of the radishes and your oven. Check for doneness after 20 minutes and adjust accordingly.
Serve these radishes as a side dish with roasted chicken, fish, or pork.
