They lose that burn they deliver raw, and you're left with a baby potato-esque tasting ball which only has a mere 1.8g net carbs per 100g. What this means is that you can basically have 500g (half a kilo) and still be under 10g net carbs for the day. Amazing right?

Ingredients:

2 bunches radishes

Some oil of choice

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbs butter

1 tbs garlic

1 tbs chopped parsley

Thoroughly wash, then top and tail the radishes.

Place in an oven proof dish and coat with oil.

Add salt and pepper and roast at 180C for approximately 30-40 mins (until browned).

Melt butter, garlic and parsley either in microwave or pan, and coat radishes.
