Edible parts

Roots
Recipe idea for your 'Poker' radish harvest. Roast the root vegetables in uniform pieces. Scrub the roots under water, trim the ends, and peel them only if necessary. Cut the larger ones into quarters to make their cooking time closer to that of the smaller pieces. Toss with a drizzle of oil, some thyme, and a pinch of salt. Spread them out on a baking sheet without overlapping, then roast at 200°C (392°F), turning them halfway through. Check for tenderness with the tip of a knife. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice or cider vinegar and serve with a cooked grain. Keep the colors separate on the tray if you wish to maintain their contrast when serving. Small roots can be left whole if they are of a comparable size. Thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while young, clean skin can be left on the vegetable.
