When you think of snack foods radishes don't always make the list. They have their place in cuisine and we love them dearly as appetizers but we've never really thought of them as crispy, let alone sugary — until now.

I've often felt that radishes are an unsung hero that don't really get their time in the spotlight. They look so pretty in photos and it can be difficult to remember to toss them into your basket at the grocery store unless you already had a plan for them.

Well here's your plan. It starts with thinly sliced radishes that take a quick trip through the microwave, get drained, tossed in a little oil and seasonings, and then get baked until crisp. It's a simple trick that gives you something new to crunch on with your morning yogurt, eaten out of hand for a quick pick me up, or taken along to your next pot luck for something unusual on the table!
