Why I Love Air Fryer Radishes O’Brien
Potatoes are easily one of the most missed foods when you’re living a keto or low carb lifestyle. Potatoes are so very delicious and versatile, and it’s an ingredient you often find yourself trying to find a good substitute for. One of my favorite potato dishes has always been Potatoes O’Brien. Now substituting potatoes in a dish where potatoes aren’t the main ingredient is one thing, but trying to find a substitute for potatoes when they pretty much are the dish is a much more difficult task. As difficult as it may be, think I pretty much nailed it with these Roasted Radishes. Radishes really do have a terrific texture when they’re fried. They have that potato “mush” to them that I often find myself craving, and the flavor in this dish is actually so similar to potatoes that you’ll find yourself wondering if you didn’t use potatoes. These fried radishes are a low carb side dish that really must be experienced to truly believe! And did I mention how easy and quick this recipe is? If you didn’t already know this, I’m a huge fan of anything that can speed up a recipe while still getting the same end product. That’s exactly why I went for the Air Fryer for this Radishes O’Brien recipe. The Air Fryer gives you that awesome roasted texture without soaking what you’re cooking in tons of oil, not to mention it doesn’t fill your house with that obnoxious frying smell you get from a standard deep fryer!
How Many Net Carbs Are In A Radish?
Radishes truly are a wonder-vegetable in the keto world. They make a fantastic substitute for potatoes, and they’re incredibly low in carbs! An entire cup of sliced radishes only has 0.4 total carbohydrates, with half of that being dietary fiber. That means that a cup of radishes only has 0.2 net carbs, making it one of the lowest carb veggies out there! So feel free to enjoy delightful Radishes O’Brien completely guilt-free!
Do You Peel Radishes Before Cooking?
Whether or not to peel radishes before cooking is entirely up to your personal preference. For this recipe, I just chop off the stem and the ends and chop them into bite-sized pieces. I prefer to cook them with the peel still on to add a little more texture and crunch to the roasted radishes.
How To Make Roasted Radishes O’Brien
What Does Cooked Radish Taste Like?
While they may not taste EXACTLY the same, fried radishes are very similar to fried potatoes. Roasting them brings out their natural sweetness and the texture is spot on if you’re craving potatoes.
How Long Do They Last?
Typically, you can expect roasted radishes to last between 3 and 5 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Once they are cooked, they will lose their heartiness and begin to change texture faster than an uncooked radish.
What Do You Serve Them With?
Basically, anything that you would serve with a roasted or baked potato will pair well with these roasted radishes. Here are some of my favorite dishes to serve with them:
