Ready to trick your pals (and maybe yourself) with the BEST EVER low carb potatoes?!
The secret? Radishes.
They’re the same shape and have a similar texture and flavor. Toss them in oil, then sprinkle with herbs and you’ll never look back! Y’all love them in my low carb potato salad, and I know this roasted version will win you over too.
Sometimes, your meal just needs easy, basic, simple roasted potatoes as a side, not one of those fancy low carb side dishes like mashed cauliflower or butternut squash soup. And here it is.
Let’s bake!

Mocktatoes Tips + FAQs
Let’s talk low carb potatoes people! Not much to this recipe, but there are a few tips that’ll guarantee the ultimate crispiness:
- Don’t overcrowd your pan, this will essentially steam the radishes, and will make them soft. Giving them enough space will allow them to brown and crisp properly.
- Don’t shy away from the oil! You want to coat the veggies thoroughly to maximize flavor.
- Wash radishes well — these bad boys are grown in the dirt, so it’s good to give them a double/triple rinse.
- Recrisp low carb potatoes in the oven, not the microwave. When it comes to leftovers, you’ll definitely want to toss them into the oven, as the microwave will soften them,
Storing Tips
Store your potato substitute leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or toaster oven.

Low Carb Potatoes
Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 3 Pounds Radishes halved
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
- 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 Teaspoons Rosemary minced
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 400 F. Toss ingredients together, making sure the halved radishes (3 pounds) are thoroughly coated in olive oil (1/4 cup). Spread radishes onto a rimmed baking sheet, placing the cut side down -- I do this on 2 baking sheets so the radishes aren't overcrowded.
- Bake. Roast for 25 minutes. Flip radishes, and roast another 20 minutes on the other side. Radishes are done once they've browned to your liking. (I usually add another 10 minutes to this time, this will vary with how crowded the pan is and how brown you'd like them). Serve warm and enjoy!
