If you’re not familiar with cooking these popular root vegetables - let me tell you, this will be one of your favorite ways to enjoy radishes!

Where to buy radishes
You can find radishes in the produce section of grocery stores or they are also a popular item at the farmers market.
How to store radishes
One great thing about radishes, is that they are a root vegetable and when stored correctly, can last for 2+ weeks in the fridge. Normally you’ll find the radish greens are still attached, but sometimes the stores sell them pre-packaged and trimmed. If the greens are attached, simply trim them off.
Then wrap your radish bulbs in a damp paper towel or kitchen towel and store in your veggie drawer set to high moisture or a ziplock bag in the fridge. This should keep the radishes crisp for 2+ weeks.
Air Fryer vs. Oven Roasted
If you do not have an air fryer, you can absolutely make hot oven roasted radishes. Simply preheat to 425, place the seasoned radishes on a parchment lined + rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
