– 1 bunch fresh radishes, tops removed and halved
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

Creating Roasted Radishes with Garlic Chive Yogurt is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Radishes: Rinse the radishes to remove any dirt. Cut off the tops and halve each radish.
3. Season the Radishes: In a mixing bowl, toss the halved radishes with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste until they are well coated.
4. Roast the Radishes: Spread the seasoned radishes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through for even cooking.
5. Prepare the Garlic Chive Yogurt: While the radishes roast, combine the plain yogurt, chopped chives, minced garlic, and lemon juice (if using) in a small bowl. Mix until well combined, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Once roasted, remove the radishes from the oven. Transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle the garlic chive yogurt over the top.
7. Garnish: Finish with additional chopped chives for an elegant touch.
