In a large mixing bowl, combine the radishes with extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the radishes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the radishes are tender and lightly browned.
Remove the radishes from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice to enhance flavor and provide a touch of brightness.
Serve warm as a healthy side dish or as a topping for salads.
