Roasted Brussel Sprouts & Radishes

Who knew that roasted radishes actually taste like roasted red potatoes! Seriously!
I had a bag of radishes I was worried were going to go bad so I did a quick Google search and learned roasted radishes are a healthy alternative for roasted potatoes.
So I grabbed the radishes, a bag of brussel sprouts, some of my favorite seasonings and bacon. I mean what doesn’t bacon go good with!
I couldn’t believe how delicious this came out! I definitely will be roasting radishes again!

Here’s how I had prepared them.

• ¼ tsp Italian Herb Seasoning
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cook bacon and set aside.
3. Toss the quartered brussels and halved radishes in a bowl with oil, seasonings, salt, and pepper and set aside.
4. Drizzle EVOO over a baking sheet.
5. Spread the brussels and radishes out in an even layer on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the veggies are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
7. Chop the bacon and sprinkle on top of the veggies.
