Faux Smashed Potatoes
Sometimes you really want potatoes, but if you’re trying to consume fewer carbohydrates, potatoes won’t help you achieve that. This is why I created this keto smashed radish recipe. If you’re wondering what smashed potatoes are, they’re steamed or boiled potatoes, smashed, seasoned then roasted. They taste delicious but are definitely not low carb.
This radish recipe involves steaming radishes to soften them, smashing them with the base of a glass, then dipping them in a seasoning of parmesan cheese, garlic, and spices. Similar to the steps I mentioned above.
Smashed radishes do not have the same crispiness that smashed potatoes would have because of the difference in starch content. However, smashed radishes do have incredible flavor.
Ingredients for This Keto Smashed Radish Recipe
The ingredients for this radish recipe are quite simple:
- Trimmed Radishes
- Fresh garlic, pressed
- Parmesan Cheese (Fresh preferred, but any will suffice)
- Dried Parsley
- Smoked Paprika
- Oil
- Salt and Pepper (To taste)
Tips for making This Smashed Radish Recipe
Trim and wash your radishes. Then steam them in a vegetable steamer basket in the Instant Pot (steam 3 minutes) which takes about 13 minutes to come to pressure then manually release. Or steam the radishes on the stovetop for about 6 minutes or until they are tender enough to insert a fork.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place drained radishes across the tray and smash each one with the base of a flat glass or some blunt, flat object. Drizzle oil over the radishes and make sure they’re lightly coated on each side. This will help the coating to stick.
Mix the spices and cheese together on a plate then gently dip each smashed radish in the coating.
Bake at 425°F for 16-18 minutes or until they become crispy and are lightly browned.
You can serve this with sour cream if you’d like!

These were very tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Hi Marla, Thank you trying these and letting me know how they were! So glad you enjoyed them <3
taste delicious but should they get crispy?
Hi Leyla,
If you roast them long enough they get a little crispy but because there is very little (to no) starch, they don’t crisp like a traditional potato. I hope that helps!
