# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Spread the seasoned radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Roasting completely transforms radishes from sharp and bitter into something tender and almost sweet.
- The whole thing comes together with five ingredients and one baking sheet, making cleanup almost nonexistent.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with soggy radishes instead of beautifully roasted ones.
- A squeeze of lemon juice right after they come out of the oven brightens everything in a way you will not expect.
03 -
- Let the baking sheet preheat in the oven for a few minutes before adding the radishes for an instant sizzle on the cut side.
- Dried herbs burn faster than fresh ones, so toss them with the oil rather than sprinkling them on top bare.
