What to Do With Radishes

I was looking for something to do with the extra radishes I picked up at the farmers market Saturday.

Of course, they taste great in a salad, which is why we bought them.

But I was looking for an alternative use. I chose spicy baked radish chips. I’m sorry to say this was not my VFG Test Kitchen best effort. But the spice mixture and idea was good enough that I’ll try it again with bigger radishes and a better baking method.

My radishes just never got crispy enough.

That said, I was very pleased with a late-night appetizer trio assembled by the iFarmer. On a sushi plate, in three small piles, he served me apricots, radishes and cashews. It was a surprisingly good combination: sweet, spicy and meaty. Delish.

Any other suggestions for sweet or savory radish dishes? I’m thinking of trying a citrus radish compote next.
