# How-To Steps:

03 - Spread the radishes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Roasting completely transforms radishes into something mellow and almost buttery, which surprises everyone who tries them.
- The whole dish comes together on one pan with barely any effort or cleanup.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with soggy radishes instead of golden, caramelized ones.
- A squeeze of lemon juice right before serving brightens everything and balances the sweetness beautifully.
03 -
- Dry the radishes thoroughly after washing because excess moisture prevents that golden crust from forming.
- Do not skip the halfway stir since it ensures even browning on both sides and prevents sticking.
