💡 Tips from the Keto Kitchen

• Choose firm radishes for roasting, as softer ones can become mushy
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; give the radishes space to crisp up
• Add a sprinkle of Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of roasting for extra flavour
• These reheat well in the oven, but avoid the microwave if you want them crispy
