I tried these and LOVED them on yoghurt. I use them now in my overnight oats as I became vegan in the interim

Radish chips. I know, right?
Totally crazy.
And totally delicious. I don’t know how it happened, but it did.
In my mind, radishes fall in the same category as beets: earthy, red, and dirty tasting. And never to be experimented with.
You thought I was a radish lover? You are wrong.
But what I found out today is that cinnamon sugar acts like magic with radishes.
I’m not even going to pretend to be sophisticated enough to describe what this power combo of radish and cinnamon sugar tasted like.
But, if you were going to make me, I’d say it tasted…
- spicy
- earthy
- warm
- a little bitter
- but still sweet at the same time.
Now if only I could be more grown up and start liking beets.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bathe them in creamy greek yogurt and sweet honey? Maybe I will. It seems to do the trick for these earthy, red, dirty tasting vegetables.
Cinnamon Sugar Radish Chips
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 2-3 1x
Description
These cinnamon sugar radish chips are an easy and fun way to make use of fresh radishes! Perfect served over Greek yogurt with honey.
Ingredients
- 10–15 radishes
- 1 tbs. olive oil
- 1/2 tbs. honey
- 1–2 tbs. cinnamon sugar mixture
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Slice the radishes approximately 1/4 inch thick and put them in a microwave safe bowl. When you are done slicing, microwave for about 30 seconds to soften them up. Drain any liquid, and add them to a larger bowl.
- Add the olive oil, honey, and cinnamon sugar. Mix well to coat all of the radishes. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are evenly spread out and not stacked on top of each other.
- Cook for 15 minutes at 350, then remove the radishes and flip them over. Reduce oven temperature to 225 and bake for another 20 minutes. You will notice they will begin to shrink in size and crisp up, which is a good thing! Remove from the oven, plate and serve.

As you can see, I enjoyed them mixed in with greek yogurt and a spoonful of honey! I wanted to dip them in the greek yogurt and honey, but they came out so small that they were just begging to be sprinkled on the yogurt instead!
The superdeep cut into my thumb (courtesy of the mandolin) was a small price to pay for these glorious little nuggets of flavor. But be careful, kids.
Any other radish ideas that might help me love radishes (or beets) without the cinnamon sugar?
Oh, and good news! If you want a more spicy, savory chip, check this out!
how can we soften without a microwave? i tried steaming… but end result was wet and flopppy, no crispness anywhere… flavour was great though! thanks for any ideas you can share.
I’d try spreading out the radishes on a sheet pan and baking at 350 for 10-ish minutes.
please give instructions on how to make the “cinnamon sugar mixture”. I looked through the blog portion and looked for additional notes below recipe card but no description given anywhere i can see. what ratio of cinnamon to sugar are you using? ty for your help, and plz update the recipe post after replying to my comment. same for the alternatives to microwave question, ty!!!
Hi Alana! For the cinnamon sugar, a good ratio would be 1 tablespoon cinnamon to 1/4 cup sugar. Instead of microwaving, you could heat the radish slices in a greased frying pan for a minute or two, and then drain.
what is an alternative way to prep the radishes for all those that do not have a microwave? i would love to try this recipe if there is another method for that part! ty so much for your help!
I made these but they didn’t crisp up at all.
Did you ever use a dehydrator to make these?
Hi Barb! We haven’t used a dehydrator for this recipe.
I like to thinly slice radishes, put a layer of them on a piece of buttered bread, then salt them. Repeat with another layer of radishes, salt them, then cover with another slice of buttered bread.. This makes a crazy good sandwich, with an almost nutty taste, and a good crunch factor!
Sounds lovely, Sharon! Thanks for the tip!
Hello, Lindsay, I tried making the radish chips today. They smelled great in the oven, BTW! Although they were very tasty and the texture was fun in my yogurt, they didn’t get crisp in the oven. Nor did they look like your photo. Any ideas what I might have done wrong? I preheated the oven, made 1/4″ slices (about), timed according to recipe. Any tips you can throw out would be appreciated. Thanks for including nutritional info, too.
