My new fave thing (new to me) is radishes fried in bacon fat.
My new fave thing (new to me) is radishes fried in bacon fat. This batch was actually half butter/half bacon fat. Just did it with some washed & quartered fresh radishes in a hot skillet. Delish! Sort of like low carb potato wedges/American fries that you may be missing from your breakfast plate.

aha! Here it is! I’d give it a try.
Oh, my… obviously not going to do the bacon thing, but butter? Olive Oil? Avacado oil? Lots of options…… Will try soon, B”N.
Huh… I only eat radishes raw generally speaking. I’ll have to give this a go.
Philip Setnik Butter works, too. The French fry radishes in butter for breakfast all the time.
Daniella surprisingly, it WAS! I will be trying radishes in a stew as well, for potato sub.
PS – they do crisp up a bit but stay juicy yet have a bit of “bite” texture-wise, like a fried potato would. They are not going to be starchy or fluffy at all like other cooked tubers would be, so don’t expect that. They do however, lose their “peppery” sharpness.
OOh
I definitely like radishes roasted or fried much better than raw. Cooking them completely mellows them out. I also like to make radish chips – slice thinly and parboil then toss in oil and season before frying. (I’ve only done them in the air fryer but at some point will try deep frying.)
