Sautéed Radishes with Brown Butter Recipe
Radishes aren’t just for sad salads anymore, ladies. We’re giving these crunchy little roots a glow-up worthy of a red carpet.
This Sautéed Radishes with Brown Butter Recipe transforms basic produce into something that actually tastes like you tried. Imagine that.
The “butter” is vegan, obviously—we’re not here to betray oat milk culture for a stick of dairy.
You’ll sear these beauties until they’re golden, then coat them in rich, nutty plant-based butter because vegetables deserve luxury too.
Serve this as a side dish and watch your friends pretend they always loved radishes. Cute, right?

Sautéed Radishes with Brown Butter Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh radishes about 12 radishes, halved or quartered
- 2 tbsp vegan butter use a high-quality plant-based brand for max flavor
- 1/4 tsp salt pink Himalayan if you’re feeling extra
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (because garnish equals effort)
- Optional: squeeze of lemon juice for brightness
Instructions
- Wash and trim the radishes. Slice them in halves or quarters depending on size. Think rustic, not perfect.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and let it melt until it starts to brown.
- Place radishes in the pan, cut side down. Sear for about 5 minutes until they get that golden, caramelized look.
- Flip radishes with a spatula. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and let it melt into glorious brown butter magic.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the radishes. Toss gently to coat every piece in buttery goodness without throwing them across the kitchen.
- Cook for another 3–5 minutes. The radishes should be fork-tender but still have a little sass (aka bite).
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley. Optional: Squeeze a little lemon over the top for that extra glow-up.
- Serve hot and bask in the compliments. Act humble, but you know you nailed it.
