Sesame Ginger Radishes Recipe

Cook your radishes and cooking radish greens? Oh yes, it can be done.

Radishes are not just for salads!

This crunchy peppery vegetable transforms into tender-crisp bites and combine with their gently wilted greens for a colorful summer side dish.

Sauteed radishes will soon become your new summer obsession!

My radishes today are a beautiful deep red but they also come in white, purple and even black!

Mine are plump and round but could also be long and cylindrical.

With summer in full swing radishes are abundant at farm stands and farmers markets.

All types of radishes are fabulous served raw adding crunch and zing in salads but can also be pickled, and yes, just like my Sauteed Sesame Ginger Radishes, even cooked!

One serving of these little root vegetables is low in calories, about 11 calories per serving, and high in fiber, folate, potassium and vitamin C. Low in calories, high in nutrients and so darn pretty.

I think I'm falling in love with these little guys!

And you will too when you gently saute them in a buttery garlic and fresh ginger mixture and finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil!

Oh my deliciousness!
