What matters
Dry well after washing. Oil coats wet surfaces poorly and extra water creates steam.

Why this recipe works
Radishes as a warm side dish
Roasting softens the raw peppery bite while keeping radishes juicy inside. Weigh the trimmed roots without leaves. Quarter large radishes and halve small ones for even cooking.
