Buttered Radishes are the perfect keto snack recipe with a delicious peppery bite. It’s an easy recipe that is made with just 5 ingredients and takes just 30 minutes to make. You won’t miss potato chips!
Do you love radishes as much as I do?
If there was a bowl of radishes in front of me, I would eat the whole thing!
I have been obsessed with these radishes for a long time. They are the perfect way to enjoy a low carb and keto snack! It’s also great for those who don’t like raw radishes.
Tips for making these radishes
- Slice the red radishes lengthwise because they will roast evenly
- Use thick, bulgy radishes for this recipe. I always get a bunch of radishes at my local grocery store or farmers market because they are fresher.
- Make sure the radishes are firm to touch and maybe even a little unripe
- Use a grass-fed, high quality butter to make these buttered radishes. I make sure it’s unsalted butter because you can control the salt content. I like to use very little salt to flavor any raw vegetables.
- To get the best butter flavor use room temperature butter and use different herbs.
Why I love these radishes
They are packed with so much nutrition and they have so many holistic properties. Their strong flavor makes them just right to be a side dish.
Baking them in the oven makes them juicy and tender. It also takes away some of that strong flavor.
Do you know how delicious basil and radishes taste? It is like a little bit of heavenly flavor in your mouth. The basil flavor lingers for a while which makes them so delicious.
This simple dish is great by itself, but you can also put it in salad greens, pasta recipes, zucchini rolls, and sandwiches. Buttered radish is juicy and has a bite, enhancing any recipe.
Next time, try a fresh baguette with a fresh ricotta spread and you will love it!
Don’t stop at radishes! Veggie chips can be made out of others too. Try my air fryer beet chips or these air fryer parsnip chips. It’s a healthier snack to have at your game-day parties.
Storing these buttered radishes
Using fresh radishes means that it won’t last long. Refrigerate the roasted radishes, if you have leftovers.
If you are using it in meal prep recipes, they should be used up within 2-3 days after you have made them. They will get a little slimy.
Types of butter
You can always use creamy butter to make these radishes. I love using fresh herbs like lemon balm or basil. My new favorite is scallion butter to roast these radishes.
Can’t decide what type of rich butter to use? I have a huge list of compound butters to flavor your radish chips.
As you may have worked it out by now, I am a huge fan of making veggie chips. See my eggplant chips obsession and beet chips obsession.

Version 1 of this recipe
Occasionally, I will revisit previous recipes and do a makeover on them. You probably came to this page based on this photo. The Buttered radishes are made with Asian flavors. However, I decided to re-vamp the recipe and bring you the new version you see above. I think you will like it.
My mind is blown! I’ve only ever eaten radishes raw. I was so intrigued by the idea of cooking them that I had to try your recipe. The radishes are spectacular! I’ll be making them again.
Thank you, Glenda.
I’d heard of Buttered Radishes, but never made them until your recipe! So easy, yummy and a smart snack or side dish! I love how you can easily change up the flavor profile to with different herbs or whatnot!
Thank you, Lynn.
Tried this out for an after-school snack, and my nephew loved it! The butter makes radishes more kid-friendly. Not only a quick prep, it’s also a healthier option!
Thank you, Pearl.
Quick and easy! I love that twist. Healthy and delicious! Highly recommended!
Thank you, Jill
I usually use radish to add on my soup dish but this is the first time I cooked radish using this method. I liked the flavor of fresh basil and rosemary in this recipe combined with butter. It’s very flavorful and delicious. Not to mention, the health benefits it has. I will be adding this on my list of healthy veggie snacks.
Thank you, Jessica.
I’m a huge fan of roasted veggies, but haven’t tried radishes yet. Your photos are lovely, btw! Pinned, and thanks! –G
Thank you so much, Ginger. 🙂
Radishes are totally my thing, such a yummy bite in spring! I’ve had them in salad and roasted plenty of times, but not with your flavor combo, yum!! One more way to enjoy one of my fav veggies, score!!
Thank you, Debra
It has never occurred to me to cook radishes, either – much less grill them like this. What a simple, yet brilliant idea… guess what I’m going to be looking for when I go shopping?
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely spring recipe – don’t suppose you could actually do something about hurrying spring along, could you? 😉
Thank you, Nicole. I have actually consulted with weather and it has agreed that it will come earlier than planned! So, get ready for some beautiful weather. It is just around the corner. 😉
Well, it seems I owe you a debt of gratitude because today it has been a gloriously warm 19c, so thank you for that! 🙂
Thank you, Nicole
I adore radishes (been on a bit of a radish kick lately) and I love them roasted, but I hadn’t tried them grilled. How creative!
Thank you, Laura
Never imagined you could have radishes this one. What a great idea!
Thank you, Miryam.
omgosh…I love radishes but have never had them like this before!! These look simply AMAZING. I can’t wait to try them with freshly picked radishes from my parents garden (and I’ll surprise them with a batch)!
Thank you, Kristy.
I love the idea of adding Hoisin sauce! I recently made some roasted garlic radishes and now I am so obsessed with radishes. I love to find new ways to add some different flavors!
Thank you, Jennifer.
I’ve roasted radishes before, but never with all these flavors!
Thank you, Pam
What a creative snack idea! I really like the combination between the hoisin sauce and the radishes it’s perfect for a snack and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing!

What a lovely idea using hoisin sauce. This one is going in my to do list!
