Roasted Radishes

Ingredients

  • 20 radishes, washed and trimmed
  • Cooking spray
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp coarse salt

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut washed radishes in half lengthwise.
  3. Add olive oil, lemon juice and radishes to a large bowl and toss.
  4. Place radishes on baking sheet, cut side down. Sprinkle evenly with coarse salt.
  5. Roast until radishes are tender, about 18 minutes, turning over half way through.

 

Handling & Storage:

Remove radish greens, which are edible, before storing and place in a plastic bag. Refrigerate up to one week.

To prepare, slice off the roots and leaves, wash and pat. Radishes can be served whole, sliced, diced, minced and/or grated. Roasting radishes tempers their bitter flavor, creating a flavor more like a potato.

Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of fresh asparagus
  • 4 cloves of garlic, pressed
  • 2 Tbsp of olive oil
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Fresh cracked pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Break off ends of asparagus spears.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper. Add asparagus and toss to cover.
  4. Cover a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the asparagus on a sheet and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the spears begin to turn brown. Turn half way through.

 

Handling & Storage

Do not wash asparagus before storing. Trim the ends of fresh asparagus and stand them upright in a jar with about an inch of water in the bottom. Cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to two days.

To prepare, bend each spear until it breaks naturally. This will ensure tender spears of asparagus without waste.
