if you’re not a radish lover, you’re about to converted with this tasty recipe that is so simple and just a few ingredients.

I use radishes all the time when I cook, but rarely did I ever cook them. I usually use them raw and throw them in salads or salsas. roasting them brings the flavor to a whole new level. they get sweet and carmelized but still hold their slight earthy flavor. this recipe is great for both an appetizer or a side dish. the roasted garlic aioli can also be used for so many other recipes and its so simple to make. I use primal kitchen’s avocado oil mayo so its whole 30. you can leave the parmesan off the radishes to also make them whole 30. this will also make the recipe vegan and dairy free.
