Ingredients
- 1 170g tub beetroot and horseradish houmous (beetroot’s spicy sidekick)
- 300g mixed radishes (a crunchy color party)
- 2 tbsp. light oil
- 1 tsp salt
These ingredients are a rad-ish riot of flavor and simplicity! Whether you’re a veggie novice or a flexitarian food hero, this combo shows that roasting radishes with a little houmous magic can turn humble roots into a plant-based delight. Who knew radishes could be so cool?
How to Make It
Alright, let’s talk about giving radishes their moment to shine—because honestly, they deserve way more love than just sitting in salads looking all shy.
Grab yourself 300 grams of those zesty little radishes, slice them in half like you mean it, and toss them lovingly in a baking dish. Drizzle on about 2 tablespoons of light oil—think olive oil or any plant-based friendly oil you fancy.
Pop them into an oven preheated to 160°C and let the magic happen for around 20 minutes. This slow roast softens them just enough, turning their natural peppery bite into a mellow, slightly sweet treat. Plus, your kitchen will smell like you’re up to something delicious, which you are!
Now, while the radishes are doing their thing, get your 170-gram tub of beetroot and horseradish houmous ready. Spread it out on a serving plate like you’re painting a masterpiece, because presentation counts even if you’re just eating solo (or pretending to be fancy).
Once the radishes are out and looking all golden and roasted, sprinkle on a teaspoon of salt to bring out their flavor—yes, salt is your kitchen BFF here.
Then, pile those warm radishes right on top of the vibrant houmous. The earthy beetroot and the zingy horseradish pair perfectly with the tender radishes, creating a combo that’s simple, vegan, and seriously satisfying.
Trust me, this little dish is proof that plant-based eating can be quick, easy, and full of flavor without any fuss!
Bonus Tips
- Swap out that beetroot houmous for a spicy harissa version if you like your radishes with a little sass—because who said veg can’t bring the heat?
- Feeling fancy? Toss a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs on top for that “I definitely didn’t just throw this together” vibe.
- If you’re all about that crunch, roast the radishes just until they’re tender but still have some bite—because soggy veggies are so last season.
Why You’ll Love It
Think of this roasted radish recipe as your new plant-based party trick—quick to whip up, but with a flavor punch that’s anything but shy.
It’s like your radishes decided to crash the vegan flavor fest and came back with a spicy, tangy glow-up thanks to that beetroot and horseradish houmous.
Plus, it’s forgiving enough for kitchen newbies who might still confuse a spatula with a microphone.
Basically, it’s the kind of dish that makes you look like a culinary wizard without needing to summon any actual magic.
