If you’ve never tried cooked radishes, these air fryer radishes will surprise you! They’re tender, slightly sweet, and crispy—an easy, low-carb swap for roasted potatoes.
Air Fryer Radishes
Radishes in the air fryer? Stay with me on this. If you’ve only ever eaten radishes raw—peppery, crisp, and often tossed in a salad—this method will completely change how you view them. Air frying transforms radishes into something unexpectedly delicious: tender on the inside, crispy on the outside, and mild in
flavor. Similar to roasted potatoes, only lower in carbs! I love roasted radishes in the oven, but making them in the air fryer is my new favorite method.
