WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Very low net carbs: only ~1.8g per 100g fits even strict keto
  • Extremely low calorie: enjoy larger portions without overshooting macros

  • Roasting transforms flavor to a mild, potato-like profile
  • Peppery notes add natural spice with no added carbs
  • Minimal prep: eat raw with a quick rinse and trim

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

ROASTED

Quarter radishes and roast at 425°F with olive oil, salt, and pepper for 20-25 minutes. They lose their peppery bite and taste like roasted potatoes.

RAW IN SALADS

Slice thin and add to salads for a peppery crunch. Pairs well with creamy dressings that balance the spice.

BUTTER-BRAISED

Sauté halved radishes in butter until tender and caramelized. The butter mellows the peppery flavor beautifully.

PICKLED

Quick-pickle in vinegar, salt, and a pinch of sweetener. Adds tangy crunch to tacos, sandwiches, and salads.

RADISH CHIPS

Slice thinly, toss with oil and seasonings, then bake at 375°F until crispy. A crunchy, low-carb snack.

MASHED

Boil until tender, then mash with butter, cream cheese, and herbs. A surprisingly good keto mashed potato substitute.
