ROASTED “POTATOES”

I just needed to get your attention with “potatoes.” I know radishes are not the most popular vegetable, but something wonderful happens to them when they are roasted. They take on the texture of a roasted potato and have a very mild flavor. They are the closest thing to a potato you can get on a lower carb plan.
