- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Toss radishes with olive oil. Grill for 4-5 minutes, until slightly charred. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.

Potential changes & improvements

What other food it works well with
Grilled radishes are delicious on their own, but also pair well with grilled chicken or fish. They would also be good alongside roasted potatoes or a simple green salad.
Common Mistakes
-Not trimming the radishes before grilling: Be sure to trim the radishes so that they are all roughly the same size. This will help them cook evenly on the grill.
-Not letting the butter brown: Don’t be afraid to let the butter brown. You want it to be a deep golden brown for maximum flavor.
