Step 1

Wash the radishes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the tops and roots.

Step 2

If the radishes are large, you can cut them in half or quarters for more even cooking. If they are small, you can leave them whole.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, toss the radishes with olive oil, ensuring they're well-coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using), mixing until they're evenly seasoned. If you're using fresh herbs, you can add them now as well.

Step 5

While some models may not require it, preheating your air fryer can provide more consistent results. Preheat it to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned radishes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.

Step 7

Cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes. It's a good idea to shake the basket or stir the radishes halfway through the cooking process to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

The radishes should be golden brown on the outside and fork-tender on the inside when done. If you prefer them crispier, you can extend the cooking time by a few minutes.

Step 9

Once roasted to your liking, transfer the radishes to a serving dish. You can garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish.
