A quick and easy roasted radish and spring onion salad that highlights the mellow sweetness of roasted radishes combined with the sharpness of spring onions, perfect for spring and packed with fresh flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 medium-sized radishes, trimmed and halved
  • 1 bunch spring onions (810 stalks), cleaned and trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: handful of fresh parsley or dill, finely chopped
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Trim radish tops and tails, halve lengthwise (quarter if large). Clean spring onions, trimming roots and wilted parts; leave whole if small or halve lengthwise if thick.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss radishes and spring onions with olive oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange veggies on the baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down for radishes.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through (10-12 minutes) using tongs or a spatula.
  6. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving bowl. While warm, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and honey or maple syrup if using. Toss gently.
  7. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs on top, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Flip veggies halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Use fresh lemon juice after roasting to preserve brightness. Adjust roasting time if radishes are too firm or spring onions brown too fast. Optional additions include toasted nuts, red pepper flakes, or crumbled cheese for variation.
