Iโ€™ve used slices of these inside our Easy Korean Oxtail Soup, but you may be surprised that these can be yummy all on their own too! Cooking them sliced in an air fryer gives them a whole new level of deliciousness. Plus when you air fry you donโ€™t have to turn on the oven! Score!

Ingredients

  • Radishes
  • Olive oil

Raid your grocery store or local farmers market for some fresh red or white colors. You can even try growing them in your backyard garden if you have a green thumb! Just remember to grab a paper towel to wipe off any dirt from the radishes after rinsing them.

Radish greens, or radish tops, are full of flavor and health benefits. Similar to collard greens, theyโ€™re rich in vitamins like A, C, and K and also provide a good dose of minerals like calcium and iron. Radish greens can be a bit spicy and bitter raw, but cooking mellows their flavor and makes them a delicious addition to a variety of dishes.

How to Cook Radish Greens

  1. Start by washing them thoroughly. Using a salad spinner can be an easy way to get rid of any leftover dirt or grit.
  2. Once theyโ€™re clean, chop the greens into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat a bit of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add the chopped greens.
  4. Sautรฉ them for about 5 minutes or until theyโ€™re wilted and tender.
  5. You can season them with salt, pepper, garlic, or other spices of your choice.
  6. This simple greens recipe makes a nutritious side dish or a great addition to pastas and grain bowls.

You can also add radish greens to your soup or stew recipes. They add a nice, peppery flavor and a boost of nutrients. Add them near the end of your cooking time to ensure they donโ€™t become too wilted. Whether sautรฉed, added to soups, or used in a pesto, radish greens can add a unique flavor and nutritional punch to your meals.

Are radish greens edible?

Yes, they are! Radish tops, or radish greens, can be used in a variety of dishes. Theyโ€™re a bit peppery, just like the radishes themselves, and theyโ€™re also packed with nutrients. Donโ€™t throw them out โ€“ cook them instead! So if youโ€™re making this Pho Broth recipe, save the radish greens!

Radish green recipes are as diverse as they come. You can sautรฉ the greens, use them in a stir-fry, or even blend them into a pesto. Cooking radish greens is similar to cooking turnip greens or other leafy greens. Just remember to wash them thoroughly and remove any tough stems.

Radishes in Air Fryer

How to Cook Radishes in Ninja Foodi

  1. Youโ€™re going to want to slice them thin for this method, then dry with paper towels.
  2. After youโ€™ve coated your slices with oil and salt, itโ€™s time to move to the Foodi.
  3. Preheat machine to 380 degrees F
  4. Carefully pour them into the air fryer basket.
  5. Spread them out so theyโ€™re in a single layer.
    • This ensures they cook evenly and get that wonderful crispiness.
  6. Set a timer for 6-10 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them.
    • Remember to give the basket a good shake halfway through to avoid sticking and to promote even cooking.
    • When shaking the basket, be careful not to send any radishes flying.

on the Stove

  1. Cut into thin slices or quarter them, depending on the size desired. Slicing or quartering helps to ensure even cooking and allows the flavors to penetrate all the way thru.
  2. Place a skillet over medium heat on the stove. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter, to the heated pan. Allow the oil to heat up.
  3. Sautรฉ and toss them gently in the oil to coat them evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and enjoy.

in the Oven

If you donโ€™t have an air fryer, no worries! You can roast radishes on the stove too. Simply preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, arrange the radishes on a baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil and seasonings. Roast them for about 20 minutes, or until theyโ€™re golden and tender. They may not get as crispy as air fried radishes, but roasted radishes will still be delicious!
