Ever buy some random grocery item that you need just a pinch of for one recipe only to watch it die a slow death in the back of your fridge? Unfortunately this was to be the fate of some leftover radishes I had bought as a topping for Pork Posole (which incidentally was delicious). I tried pawning them off on a client. Instead of taking them she suggested I roast them and offered this recipe.
Thanks Marnie!
While I’m sure you could add fresh herbs or garlic, I do like the simplicity of this dish as is. Short ingredient list, simple to prepare, paleo friendly, and low glycemic index. Try it and let me know what you think in the comments below…
