Roasted Korean Radish

Suddenly I had a lot of random root veggies! So I roasted them with sesame oil, soy sauce, and herbs. This is also good with red radishes and can be made vegan by omitting the bacon.

Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup sesame oil
• ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 Korean radish, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch squares
• 2 turnips, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch squares
• 1 large parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 4 slices bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
• 2 2-inch fresh thyme sprigs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 420 degrees F (215 degrees C).

Step 2

Place half the radish, turnips, parsnip pieces, and garlic in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Add remaining radish, turnips, parsnip, and garlic. Seal bag and mix to coat well. Let vegetables marinate on one side, about 10 minutes. Turn bag over and continue marinating, about 10 minutes more.

Step 3

Pour marinated vegetables into a 1 1/2-inch deep baking pan; spread them into an even layer. Spread bacon and thyme evenly over the top.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 55 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and continue roasting until browned, about 15 minutes more.
