Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the radishes, cutting off the tail and tops. Cut each radish into quarters to resemble small potato wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the quartered radishes, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the radishes until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned radishes out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the radishes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the low carb Cajun potatoes warm as a side dish or a flavorful snack.
