This Roasted Radishes recipe is the perfect keto side dish for your next meal. Radishes O’Brien made quickly and easily in your air fryer or oven and it’s full of flavor .
Why I Love Air Fryer Radishes O’Brien
Potatoes are easily one of the most missed foods when you’re living a keto or low carb lifestyle. Potatoes are so very delicious and versatile, and it’s an ingredient you often find yourself trying to find a good substitute for. One of my favorite potato dishes has always been Potatoes O’Brien.
Now substituting potatoes in a dish where potatoes aren’t the main ingredient is one thing, but trying to find a substitute for potatoes when they pretty much are the dish is a much more difficult task.
As difficult as it may be, think I pretty much nailed it with these Roasted Radishes .
Radishes really do have a terrific texture when they’re fried. They have that potato “mush” to them that I often find myself craving, and the flavor in this dish is actually so similar to potatoes that you’ll find yourself wondering if you didn’t use potatoes.
These fried radishes are a low carb side dish that really must be experienced to truly believe!
And did I mention how easy and quick this recipe is? If you didn’t already know this, I’m a huge fan of anything that can speed up a recipe while still getting the same end product.
That’s exactly why I went for the Air Fryer for this Radishes O’Brien recipe. The Air Fryer gives you that awesome roasted texture without soaking what you’re cooking in tons of oil, not to mention it doesn’t fill your house with that obnoxious frying smell you get from a standard deep fryer!
How Many Net Carbs Are In A Radish?
Radishes truly are a wonder-vegetable in the keto world. They make a fantastic substitute for potatoes, and they’re incredibly low in carbs!
An entire cup of sliced radishes only has 0.4 total carbohydrates, with half of that being dietary fiber.
That means that a cup of radishes only has 0.2 net carbs, making it one of the lowest carb veggies out there! So feel free to enjoy delightful Radishes O’Brien completely guilt-free!
Do You Peel Radishes Before Cooking?
Whether or not to peel radishes before cooking is entirely up to your personal preference. For this recipe, I just chop off the stem and the ends and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
I prefer to cook them with the peel still on to add a little more texture and crunch to the roasted radishes.
How To Make Roasted Radishes O’Brien
- Mix. In a large bowl, mix together the radishes, onions, peppers, garlic, salt and pepper. Ensure all the vegetables are about the same size so that they will cook evenly. Pour over the melted butter and mix well.
- Pour. Add the mixture directly into the Air Fryer basket.
- Cook. Set the Air Fryer to 360F for 20 minutes. Then, increase the temperature to 400F for 3 minutes to crisp up the edges of the vegetables.
- Oven. If you want to make this in the oven , use the broil setting on your oven. You will need to watch the radishes carefully to ensure they don’t burn, stirring from time to time.
- Nonstick. You can also try making this in a nonstick pan. In that case, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil or ghee to the pan, and then basically pan-fry your veggies in the oil on high heat until they crisp up.
- Even. Unless you like the occasional and awkward crunch of an uncooked vegetable, try your best to make sure that all the veggies are cut to about the same size. This will help them all cook evenly.
- Substitute. Radishes make a wonderful keto substitute for potatoes, so don’t be afraid to try them in other traditional potato recipes!
What Does Cooked Radish Taste Like?
While they may not taste EXACTLY the same, fried radishes are very similar to fried potatoes. Roasting them brings out their natural sweetness and the texture is spot on if you’re craving potatoes.
How Long Do They Last?
Typically, you can expect roasted radishes to last between 3 and 5 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Once they are cooked, they will lose their heartiness and begin to change texture faster than an uncooked radish.
What Do You Serve Them With?
Basically, anything that you would serve with a roasted or baked potato will pair well with these roasted radishes.
Here are some of my favorite dishes to serve with them:
- Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
- Chicken Broccoli Casserole
- Sous Vide Steak

If you’ve never heard of a Frankie before, you’re missing out. It is Indian food in minutes! A savory, spicy “Indian Burrito”, Frankies are great for using up leftovers. A great no-mess way to make Indian Breakfast Burritos that kids will love.
What is a Frankie?
At its essence, a Frankie is a roti or chappati , with a layer of egg inside, smeared with a sauce or chutney , and then filled with whatever leftovers you have around. It is then lovingly rolled up into a piece of foil to contain it, handed to you, and you are sent off on your way, tucking into a wholesome snack as you walk around the streets of Mumbai–on in my case, the streets of Keller, Texas.
I often make my little Indian Burrito with Tortillas which are easier to find. This also allows me to make breakfast tacos that don’t spill right out of the tortillas when I get distracted by a shiny object and stop focusing on my food.
What is the difference between a Frankie and a Kathi Roll?
Let me present an unpopular opinion–there is zero difference to someone who is eating them.
Sure, purists can point to the fact that Frankies were originated in Mumbai, and Kathi Rolls started in Kolkatta. There will be great discourse on the fact that one has cutlets (maybe?) one has pieces of meat (sometimes?)–but all of this is arbitrary and easily overridden.
When you’re sitting in your kitchen, tucking into one of these delightful Frankies, you will absolutely not care.
Why You Will Fall in Love With This Frankie Recipe
- Fast. If you watch the accompanying video, you will see that it takes no time at all to make these Kathi rolls. Whether you start with a cooked tortilla or you cook up your own, it is but the work of a few minutes to get these Indian Frankies to the table.
- Cheap . Egg , any sort of flatbread, and a variety of fillings. You can literally make dinner for 4 under $10 at this rate.
- Filling . I would be very surprised if anyone were able to eat more than 2 Frankies for a fulfilling dinner . The protein from the egg and fillings, vegetables for fillings, the whole wheat of a chappati–all of those fill you up and stay with you for hours.
- Neat & Portable . A Frankie is much neater than a burrito or Taco if you cook the fillings along with the egg. If you want a breakfast taco, for example, you can cook sausage or bacon in a pan, pour in the eggs on top, and then proceed as directed. Once you roll it all up, there’s nothing to spill in the car as you’re dashing around trying to eat and drive at the same time (Not that I would ever do that but I have a FRIEND….)
- Versatile . What I love most about these Frankies is that you are limited only by either your imagination or the contents of your refrigerator. I will list some great Frankie variations for you below, so you can see what I’m talking about. Don’t let it bother you one bit that some of these combinations are not at all Indian. Just #trustUrvashi and have at it.
How To Make An Indian Burrito
Cook
- Whisk. Whisk together Eggs and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Heat. In a nonstick pan , heat 2 teaspoons oil. When the oil is hot, pour half the egg mixture into the hot pan.
- Cook eggs. When the sides of the egg are just begining to set (about 15 seconds), place the tortilla on top and press down to embed the tortilla into the egg.
- Flip. Allow the egg to cook completely. Flip the egg-tortilla on a plate so that the egg is facing up. Repeat with the other tortilla/egg combo.
- Add. Meanwhile, smear 2 tablepoons of the sauce on to the egg. Smoosh the kababs a little and place them on top of the sauce.
- Roll. Roll up the frankie as you would a burrito, and wrap in a piece of foil or a napkin. Serve!
Different Types of Frankie Recipes
Below is a list of mix and match recipe ideas. This will allow you to make a low carb Frankie, a vegan Kathi roll, or a veg Frankie Recipe.
Choose one bread , one sauce –unless your dish was saucy (like me) and then you can omit– one filling , and maybe a few extras. Cook, roll, eat. Repeat.
Bread + Egg + Sauce + Filling = Frankie

What Are The Rules For Making An Indian Burrito?
Just one. For the love of all that is sacred, do not put rice in your Frankie!
I don’t know why this is true because really Indians think nothing of making a potato curry and eating it with rice or chappatis. But for some reason, we absolutely never combine rice and chappati!
Actually you know what? You want to combine them? You go right ahead. As long as everyone enjoys them, who cares?
Just… don’t do that in an Indian restaurant. Because yes, when you make a burrito at your local Indian buffet and put rice inside your naan, most of us are almost certainly judging you 🙂
