AIP Friendly Rosemary-Garlic Roasted Radishes
Most people only know radishes as a raw, peppery crunch on a salad, but roasting them at high heat transforms them into something almost unrecognizable — tender, slightly sweet, and deeply savory. This side dish is a genuine revelation for anyone following the autoimmune protocol, where so many roasted vegetable recipes sneak in nightshades, seed-based oils, or other off-limits ingredients. Here, it's just radishes, olive oil, fresh garlic, rosemary, and a bright finish of lemon juice — every single ingredient is clean and protocol-friendly. The trick is spreading the halved radishes cut-side down on a hot sheet pan so they caramelize rather than steam, giving you those golden, slightly crispy edges that make this dish feel indulgent. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds color and a pop of freshness that pulls the whole plate together. It serves four and comes together in under 30 minutes, making it an easy weeknight side that doesn't feel like a compromise.
