Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Peel the daikon radishes and cut them into small, bite-sized cubes to resemble diced potatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the daikon cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked sea salt (if using). Toss well to ensure the daikon cubes are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
Spread the coated daikon cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer to promote even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the daikon cubes are tender and golden brown at the edges. Toss them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a low-carb side dish with your favorite main course.
