How To Roast Radishes In Air Fryer
Step One: Trim the tops and tails of the radishes, then cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Step Two: In a large bowl, toss the radish pieces in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Feel free to add any optional seasonings like rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
Step Three: Set your air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes. Place the seasoned radishes in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer. Set cook time for 15-18 minutes, shaking or flipping the radishes halfway through for even cooking. Once they are golden and crispy on the edges, remove the radishes and serve immediately.
Air Fryer Radishes Recipe Tips
- Slice Evenly: For consistent cooking, ensure all radishes are sliced to a similar thickness. This helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
- Avoid Overcrowding: To get the perfect crispy texture, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Allow air circulation to cook the radishes evenly.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on the size of the radishes and your air fryer model, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Check at 15 minutes, and add time as necessary.
- Use Olive Oil for Crispiness: A light coating of olive oil helps the radishes crisp up and adds a rich flavor. You can also use a spray bottle for a more even coat.
- Season to Taste: Experiment with seasonings! Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Parmesan for different flavor profiles.
Storage & Reheating
Storage: Store leftover air fryer roasted radishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure they’ve cooled completely before sealing the container to prevent moisture buildup.
Reheating: To reheat, simply place the radishes back in the air fryer basket at 350°F for 3-5 minutes until crispy again. Alternatively, you can reheat in a conventional oven for a similar result.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Radishes
Air fryer roasted radishes make a fantastic side dish to complement a variety of meals. Serve this low carb side dish alongside roasted chicken, steak, or grilled fish for a well-rounded meal.
They pair beautifully with roasted vegetables like carrots or potatoes, and can also be tossed in a fresh salad for extra crunch.
For a lighter option, enjoy them with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or a tangy vinaigrette. These versatile radishes will elevate any dinner table with their delicious, savory flavor.
Roasted Radishes Air Fryer Recipe Faqs
Can I use any type of radishes for this recipe? Yes, you can use any variety of radishes, but smaller, baby radishes tend to cook faster and have a milder flavor. Larger radishes may have a slightly stronger, peppery taste, but they will still roast well in the air fryer.

Do I need to peel the radishes before roasting? No, you don’t need to peel the radishes. Simply wash them thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into even-sized pieces for consistent cooking.
Can I use frozen radishes for this recipe? While fresh radishes work best for air frying, you can use frozen radishes if needed. Be sure to thaw and pat them dry before air frying to avoid excess moisture.
