Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 small red onion, julienned
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
• 2 pounds radishes with greens attached

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut greens from radishes. Rinse and soak greens until all grit is removed and the water is clear; set aside to dry. Rinse and dry radishes; cut in half.

Step 3

Stir butter, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Add radishes and toss to coat. Arrange radishes, cut-sides down, on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until radishes are soft enough to easily cut through with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

While radishes are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Sauté onion in hot oil until almost soft, about 5 minutes. Add greens and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic. Sauté until greens are wilted, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 6

Divide sautéed greens and onions among serving plates and top with roasted radishes.
