Radishes are one of our favourite veggies to plant each year. Their quick growing time (only three to four weeks) means we can do two to three plantings throughout the summer. That being said, if you don’t have the space to grow your own radishes, not to worry. These are often easy ones to find at the local farmer’s market throughout the summer.
Perfect for solo snacking or an easy appetizer for your next dinner party, our Lemon Radish Toasties use the entirety of this spicy bulb, from its leafy fronds to its peppery root. Nothing gets wasted, and local veg makes it a sustainable win.
