Roasted Radishes with Garlic Scape Butter
Many of us take a break from cooking during the peak-heat of summer. But once things get a little crisp outside, the impetus to ignite the stove cannot be ignored. Try six easy-peasy recipes full of flavorful fall farmers’ market ingredients, all based on farm produce brought to us by Buy Fresh, Buy Local of Western PA.
You have to try roasted radishes to appreciate their goodness. A cool-weather staple at most farmers’ markets, they come out of the oven beautifully every time. If you still have garlic scapes in the freezer from last spring, wonderful. If not, substitute with garlic and scallion. Radishes should be available well into fall at Shenot Farm, and butter is always on offer at Brunton Dairy.
