    Ingredients

    Here's what you'll need for the basic recipe:

    Collage of ingredients needed to make recipe.

    To prepare the ingredients, remove the stems and scrub. You don't need to peel either one! If you're short on time, use washed and pre-chopped carrots and radishes.

    You'll find the exact quantities in the recipe card below.

    Types of Radishes

    Cherry Belle or Globe radishes are typically found in the grocery store. They have a crisp, peppery flavor. But, there are so many other varieties worth trying. They're not just a pretty salad garnish!

    Other types of radishes to look for include:

    • Watermelon (white on the outside and bright pink on the inside)
    • Black or Spanish (spicy)
    • French breakfast
    • Daikon radishes (long and white.)

    Directions

    The standard guidance for roasting vegetables applies when cooking a mixture of carrots and radishes. We've outlined the process and tips below.

    Numbered steps to roast radishes and carrots in the oven.
    1. Cut carrots and radishes into similarly-sized pieces so they cook uniformly. Smaller segments cook more quickly. We aimed for about ¾ of an inch.
    2. Thoroughly toss vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Don't skimp on the olive oil. Each piece should be coated so it doesn't dry out during the cooking process. Use your hands if necessary to make sure each piece is coated.
    3. Spread radishes and carrots into a single layer on a baking sheet so there is room for air to circulate and make the edges crispy. Use two sheets pans if you're doubling the recipe.
    4. Roast at 400 °F for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender.

    Air Fryer Instructions

    Use an air fryer to roast carrots and radishes if you have one. You don't even need to preheat it first!

    Prepare the vegetables using the process outlined above and arrange them in your air fryer, trying to keep them from overlapping.

    Cook at 390 °F for about 20 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes. The exact time will vary depending upon your particular appliance, and the size of the vegetables.

    Simple Lemon Butter Dill Sauce

    Want to take this dish to the next level? Toss roasted radishes and carrots with a mixture of butter, lemon juice, and dill. This will seal the deal for any skeptics.

    There are plenty of fancy recipes out there to make a tasty sauce. But, you can't go wrong with this ingredient combination. Simply melt butter in the microwave and stir it with lemon juice and dill weed. Toss the vegetables with the sauce at serving time.

    Use fresh lemon juice and dill weed if you have it! But, dried dill will work as well.

    Another option is to just serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and/or with just about any fresh herb.

    Storage

    Roasted vegetables are always best straight from the oven. But, if you any left:

    Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Reheat: Warm in the oven (at 350 °F) or air fryer (at 350 °F) until heated through. They may also be warmed in the microwave, but they won't be crispy.

    Make-Ahead Strategy

    Remove the stems, scrub, and chop carrots and radishes several days ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator in a covered container. If they will be stored for more than a day, wrap them in a wet paper towel first to keep them crisp.
