Discover a genius twist on a beloved classic with these Low Carb Crispy Smashed Potatoes—made with radishes instead of traditional potatoes! Perfect for keto enthusiasts or anyone seeking a healthier alternative, this recipe transforms humble radishes into a golden, crispy sensation. After a quick boil and gentle smash, each radish is roasted until delightfully crisp, then topped with fragrant garlic, Parmesan cheese, zesty lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Ready in under an hour, this versatile side dish combines bold flavors with a guilt-free crunch, making it an irresistible addition to your low-carb meal plan.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the radishes thoroughly under running water, removing any dirt and cutting off the greens and root ends.
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the radishes. Boil for about 10 minutes, or until radishes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the radishes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently smash each radish to flatten them slightly but keep them in one piece.
Drizzle olive oil over the smashed radishes, ensuring they are well-coated, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Roast the radishes in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the heat to melt the cheese.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a low-carb alternative to potatoes.
