    daikon radishes cut into pieces
  • Peel and cut your daikon radish into small pieces. Pieces should be about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
  • Place cut daikon radishes in a bowl and top with finely chopped garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and agave.
    **Do not include the toasted sesame oil yet. That will be used AFTER you bake the radishes (toasted sesame oil is already toasted and can become bitter or burnt if cooked to long)

  • Place seasoned daikon radishes and garlic on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Mix radishes at the 20 minute mark to allow them to cook more evenly. The size of the cut radishes will affect your cooking time.
