Are you missing potatoes on the keto diet? Miss them no more, my friends! Pan roasted radishes are ready, willing and able!

When on the keto diet, the days of fluffy, crunchy, roasted potatoes are all but a dream. When I made red skin potatoes for my family, part of me wanted to cry inside. I really missed potatoes.

I've always been a meat and potatoes kinda girl, and that was how I raised my family. Going without potatoes? That was utter nonsense in every sense of the word. However, I found a great substitute that is low carb, keto friendly AND can be paleo as well. How cool is that?

What is this magical vegetable that roasts like potatoes, feels like potatoes, yet is low carb? Radishes.

Roasted radishes can easily take on all the aspects of your meal that potatoes did, without the carbs.

What's so special about radishes, anyway? Aren't they just little circles you take off your restaurant salad? Sure, but you may want to start eating these little peppery wonders when you see that they are full of :

• riboflavin
• Vitamin B6
• Calcium
• Fiber
• Folate

All great things that your body needs! Bonus-there is only 2 net carbs in a full cup of roasted radishes! A feel good side dish that will fill you up without filling you out, right? Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the radishes, and with their natural peppery bite, makes them a delicious choice over potatoes!

If you needed more convincing to try these, my uber picky hubby, the boy AND the Frenchman all agree that these roasted radishes are a make again! They are sure to be a favorite in YOUR family as well!
