Servings: 8 toasts
Calories: 161kcal
Ingredients
- 3 bunches radishes
- glug of olive oil
- pinch of salt & pepper
- 1 cup ricotta
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (or 1 tsp. dried)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices of sourdough bread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim both ends of radishes and rinse well. In a mixing bowl, toss radishes with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place radishes on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until radishes have become tender. Let cool until you are comfortable handling them, about 20 minutes.
- Thinly slice radishes (about ¼-inch) and set aside.
- Make the ricotta spread: Place ricotta, minced garlic, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- When ready to serve, toast sourdough slices. Spread a good-sized layer of ricotta spread on toasts, and top with radish slices. If you prefer, add additional chives on top.
Notes
- Make ahead: The radishes can be roasted and the herbed ricotta can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead of time. Store separately in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- How to store: Store radishes and herbed ricotta in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- How to freeze: I don't recommend freezing the roasted radishes, but the herbed ricotta can be stored in a freezer safe container and stored for up to 3 months.
- Toast sourdough (or your favorite type of bread) right before serving. The herbed ricotta will melt into your warm toast, making for a creamy and crunchy bite.
- How to serve: Serve as a main dish for a light lunch or dinner, as a snack, or as a side accompaniment to soup or salad.
