Spicy Roasted Daikon Radish French Fries
Auto Draft
This recipe was submitted by Farm Shareholder Nell Warnes.
Ingredients
- 5 cups (about 1 3/4-pounds) daikon radish, peeled & sliced - see instruction no. 2 for instructions
- 3 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chile paste
- 1 teaspoon low sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger pulp, freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F, and adjust a rack to the center.
- Cut the daikon into sections approximately 3-inches long, then cut about 1/4-inch slices off the side of each one, to make a base. Stand the sections on their bases, and cut them, vertically into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Stand these slices on top of each other, and then cut them into sticks about 1/4-inch thick. Add all of the daikon slices to a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the oil, chile paste, tamari or soy sauce, ginger, sugar and salt.
- Drizzle this over the daikon slices and then use your hands to toss them until they're all evenly coated and in a single layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated 475°F oven and roast until they are golden brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. (You should gently toss/flip them about halfway through the cooking time.)
- Add a double layer of paper towels to another baking sheet, and when the fries are done, add them on top of the towels to drain and cool.
Notes
*We cooked our carrots and turnips in the same way and it worked great!
