You can pick up radishes in pretty much all UK supermarkets and are normally around 50-75p per 200g. Personally, I find a typical serving of 200g per person is the perfect amount as a side dish.

Available at: Asda, Morrisons (Amazon), Sainsbury’s, Tesco and more.

Additionally, they keep well in the fridge and you can usually ignore their best before date. I’ve eaten many that have gone way past that date and I’m not dead yet. Just give them a squeeze and if they’re overly soft then they might need to be made into compost.

Ingredient list

As for the other ingredients that you’ll need to make the best keto roasted “potatoes” radishes recipe, you probably already have them at home!

Extra virgin olive oil – a good EVOO should be a staple in any kitchen, not just for us keto folk. Watch out for oil blends by checking the ingredient list, it should be oil made from 100% olives.

• Cretan Culture Extra Virgin Olive Oil / InterOleo Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Napolina Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Amazon, Asda, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco

Thyme – fresh or dried, it doesn’t really matter, just whatever you have to hand! Although, fresh is best and I thoroughly recommend you grow your own herbs.

Garlic & onion powder – optional, but a dash of both of these seasonings will elevate the flavour to a whole new tier.

Black pepper & salt – season everything, freshly ground black pepper is always best if you have it. For salt, pink Himalayan is good, but standard table salt will do the job.
