You are likely familiar with vegetable platters with a central dip (typically ranch). If they are homemade, you are likely to see radishes mixed with the baby carrots, celery sticks, bell peppers, broccoli florets, or sugar snap peas. Some people love radishes for their crisp texture and peppery flavor, while others choose to avoid them completely. Roasted radishes are a completely different story, as they almost take on a sweet flavor during the roasting process. They are truly special, which is why we thought to blend roasted radishes to create a vegan “hummus” dip.

This hummus, which really is just a dip made from blended radishes and other ingredients, is a real game changer for your dip game. The peppery kick from the radishes gives the mild flavor of traditional hummus a run for its money. You’l love this roasted radish dip because:

• This creative spin on a traditional hummus has fewer carbs, as the radishes replace chickpeas. That also makes it keto-approved.
• It only requires six simple ingredients and 30 minutes of your time.
• It contains heart-healthy nutrients, such as fiber, so you can snack guilt-free.
• You use basic, affordable pantry staples with the radishes, so it is budget-friendly.

Which radishes should you use? Use the regular red globe radishes, but those aren’t the only options. You can easily select French Breakfast radishes, which have a milder flavor and elongated shape, or watermelon radishes, which will give your hummus a pink hue. You do not need to use daikon radishes, as the little ones will roast much more easily. Just make sure to give them a good rinse before you roast them.
