Air fryer radishes are delightfully tender, mild in flavor, and delicious seasoned with lemon and garlic. Perfect as a healthy snack or side dish. Roasted radishes transform from crisp and peppery to tender and mellow, and an air fryer makes the process so easy! Oil-free option and oven instructions included.

Ingredients
US Customary | Metric

12 ounces radishes (about 2 bunches), ends trimmed, quartered (or halved if small)
2 teaspoons oil, optional - Omit for oil-free, and use 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
rounded ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon lemon zest, optional
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (193 C). In a mixing bowl toss the radishes with the oil (or lemon juice for oil-free).
Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest, if using, and toss to coat.
Transfer the radishes to the air fryer basket (if using lemon juice be sure to leave it in the bowl). Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket after 6 minutes. Air fryers can vary, so check the radishes after 8 or 9 minutes. For crisp-tender radishes reduce by a minute or two, or cook longer for soft, tender radishes.
Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon, fresh parsley, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Oven Roasting Instructions - No air fryer? No problem!

Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange the seasoned radishes in a single layer, cut-side down. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are as tender as you like. It's a good idea to check on them at the 10 minute mark, flipping them if desired.

How to Store and Re-heat

Roasted radishes are best immediately after cooking, but we also really enjoy them after they've cooled to room temperature. If you have leftovers, store in an air-tight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
