ROASTED CARROTS AND RADISHES WITH DILL BUTTER

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Roasting may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re dealing with radishes,
but these crunchy roots turn incredibly sweet and mild when cooked this way.
