Sugar-glazed radishes

So French and so simple.

These radishes make a silky, delicate side to your lunch or dinner.

Serve warm, with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Tips: Steam the radishes using a colander, a steamer basket, or – my choice – a bamboo ‘dumpling’ steamer. And get the crunchiest, sweetest radishes you can find.

Sugar-glazed radishes

You’ll need:

  • 1 or 2 bunches radishes, trimmed and peeled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fine granulated sugar
  • a pinch of fleur de sel

1. Bring a pot of water to boil, fit steamer over the pot.

2. Carefully peel and trim the radishes, leaving just a little green ‘tail’. Place them in steamer, sprinkle with sugar, and steam for 10-12 minutes.

3. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve immediately.

  1. I honestly love the things you do to radishes and brussels sprouts 🙂 In fact I’ve come looking for a brussels sprouts recipe I saw ages ago. I bought some the other day and your blog came to mind first thing 🙂
