Roasted Radishes with Radish Greens

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Remove the greens from the radishes. Rinse and soak the greens until no grit remains and the water is clear, then set aside to dry. Rinse and dry the radishes and halve them.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt and pepper. Toss the radishes in this mixture to coat, then arrange cut-sides down on a baking sheet.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until a fork can easily cut through the softened radishes.
5. While the radishes roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Sauté the onion in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, until almost soft. Add the greens and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic, then sauté for 5 to 8 minutes until the greens wilt.
6. Portion the sautéed greens and onions onto serving plates and place the roasted radishes on top.
