Roasted Radishes and Turnips with Brown Butter Sauce From To the Last Bite by Alexis deBoschnek ($32.50, Simon & Schuster, 2022)
1 bunch radishes, halved
With the return of spring come the religiously observed holidays of Easter and Passover. Honor these dates with dishes that use ingredients in both modern and traditional ways.
1 bunch baby turnips, halved, or 2 medium turnips, cut into eighths
¼ c olive oil 1 tsp kosher salt 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
50 min prep time serves 4
1 tsp Dijon mustard Juice of K lemon 2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley 1 Tbsp capers, drained and rinsed, roughly chopped
1. Preheat oven to 400˚. 2. Place radishes and turnips on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, using your hands to toss to coat. 3. Roast radishes and turnips until roots are golden brown and forktender and greens are crispy, about 25 minutes. Radishes and turnips can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, although tops will no longer be crispy.
4. Meanwhile, add butter to a small saucepan over medium-high heat, twirling pan occasionally until butter melts and foams. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool for at least 5 minutes. 5. Add Dijon, lemon juice, parsley, and capers to brown butter and whisk to combine. Pour brown butter sauce over radishes and turnips, and serve immediately.
Kitchen Note: This recipe calls for both the root of these vegetables and their tops. Seriously, don’t toss the tops! Most radish tops will have to be washed a few times to remove any grit, but the extra step is worth it. When the tops are roasted they become crispy, almost chip-like. Don’t worry about any spiky leaves. They’ll melt away once roasted.
