Roasted Radishes with Curry Dip

2 tsp (10 mL) grapeseed oil
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt

1 tsp (5 mL) curry powder
1 Tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
Preheat oven to 400 F (200C).
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss radishes with oil, salt, and pepper. Place in oven and bake for 35 minutes, stirring once halfway, or until wrinkled and tender.
In small bowl, whisk together sour cream, curry powder, and lemon juice.
Serve roasted radishes with curry sauce.
