Ingredients

  • Fresh radishes: 1/2 pound, washed
  • Olive oil spray: For coating
  • Garlic powder: 3/4 teaspoon
  • Onion powder: 3/4 teaspoon
  • Sea salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

Preheat:
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
Slice radishes:
Remove the stems and roots from the radishes, then slice the radishes into 1/8-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife or a mandoline.
Season slices:
Arrange the radish slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and add a light coating of olive oil cooking spray over them. You can also gently brush them with olive oil using a pastry brush. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the radish slices. Toss the sliced radishes to make sure they are fully coated in oil and seasonings.
Air fry:
Arrange the radish slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overlap them. If necessary, cook them in batches to ensure all the slices cook evenly. Cook for 8–10 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges and crispy, tossing or flipping the radishes halfway through.
Cool:
When finished, place the radish slices in a single layer on a cooling rack and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ How thin should I slice the radishes?
