Roasting mellows radishes into a surprisingly soft, buttery low-carb side that tastes like roast potatoes. The air fryer draws out their sharp bite and leaves lightly crisped edges, a clever swap for anyone watching the carbs.

Tips for the best results
- Larger radishes should be quartered so they cook through.
- They shrink as they roast, so start with a generous amount.
- A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the flavour.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Crowding the basket so air fryer radishes steams instead of browning.
- Skipping the shake every 8 min, which leaves one side pale.
