Roasted Radishes with Soy Sauce and Sesame Seeds

Ingredients

• 20-25 medium radishes, washed, trimmed and cut into fourths or halves, same-size pieces
• 1 1/2 T roasted peanut oil
• 1 1/2 T soy sauce
• 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2-3 tsp. black sesame seeds

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425 F.
2. Rinse the radishes well, cut off the ends, and halve or quarter them so the pieces are roughly the same size.
3. Coat a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. Add the radishes, brush them all over with the peanut oil, and turn them so the cut sides face down for better browning.
4. Roast for about 20 minutes, tossing them 1 or 2 times as they cook.
5. As the radishes roast, prepare the green onions, measure out the sesame seeds, and toast the seeds if they need it.
6. If you’re adding the toasted sesame oil, stir it together with the soy sauce, using gluten-free soy sauce if needed, in the bowl that held the peanut oil.
7. Once the radishes are soft and beginning to brown, take them out of the oven. Brush them with the soy sauce or soy-sesame oil mixture, then scatter the sliced green onions over the top.
8. Return the pan to the oven and cook for about 5-7 minutes longer.
9. Finish the hot radishes with black sesame seeds and serve right away. A little Sriracha Rooster Sauce would be a good addition for anyone who likes spicy Asian flavors.
