Grilled Radishes With Jalapeño Dipping Sauce

Chef Jenn
Grilled Radishes With Jalapeño Dipping Sauce are a bold, low-carb side dish perfect for summer grilling. The heat of the grill mellows the peppery bite of radishes, creating a smoky, tender texture. Paired with a creamy and spicy jalapeño dip, this unexpected veggie upgrade is flavorful, keto-friendly, and sure to be a hit at any cookout or weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
  

For the creamy cilantro dip

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup jalapeño finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • ½ teaspoon lime juice
  • pinch ground black pepper

For the grilled radishes

  • 20 radishes trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon liquid honey
  • pinch ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well blended. Cover and refrigerate until serving; you can prep this up to a day in advance.
  • Place the halved radishes in a mixing bowl and toss with melted butter, lime juice, honey, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Arrange the radishes with the cut side facing down. Grill with the lid closed for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Sprinkle the radishes with salt and give them a final toss in the bowl.
  • Serve warm alongside the chilled dipping sauce.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Use a grill basket if your radishes are on the small side to keep them from falling through the grates.
  • Pick radishes that are close in size so they cook evenly.
  • Taste the jalapeño before using—it’s easier to add more heat than take it away.
  • Let the dip rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge so the flavors blend.
  • Serving the dip cold makes for a great contrast with the hot radishes.
