Until recently, it never occurred to me to cook radishes. Radishes to me were just something that were served whole or quartered on a raw veggie platter, or maybe sliced and added to a salad.
But last spring, it came time to harvest my radishes at the same time my CSA harvested their radishes. I had dozens of radishes in my fridge, and I didn't want to eat all of them raw. Plus, some were spicy enough that I couldn't just pop them in my mouth and munch on them.

So, I do what I always do when I have an excess amount of some ingredient and I'm not sure what to do with it. I turned to the internet. I Googled "radish recipes" expecting to find mostly salads, but was surprised to find many recipes for roasted radishes. What? You can cook them? So of course I tried it immediately, starting out simple, with olive oil, salt, and pepper (which is also delicious BTW). My whole family loved them! (Just kidding - Mr. Dreamboat and I loved them, the kids barely tolerated them as per usual with most vegetables, no matter how they're prepared).
After my initial try at roasting radishes, I've refined my recipe to a point that I feel proud sharing, and ended up with Anchovy Butter Roasted Radishes. I knew from past experience that radishes paired well with both anchovies and butter, and absolutely love the savory, umami flavor that anchovies lend to a dish when they're cooked.

When you cook radishes, they lose that spicy bite they sometimes have, and their flavor mellows out a lot. This is truly the way to cook radishes if you don't actually like radishes.
