KETO Friendly Garlic Butter Roasted Radish Appetizers (They Taste Like Potatoes!!)

These tasty little bites will be a favorite
for Keto & non Keto eaters. Everyone
will think they are potatoes!

Ingredients:
25 medium radishes
1 cup beef broth
1 cup water
2 slices bacon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon dried chives
1/8 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/8 teaspoon oregano
coconut or avocado oil cooking spray
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (or other cheese of your choice)

Method:
Wash and trim the ends off the radishes. Add the broth, water and radishes to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the radishes are tender, when pierced with a fork. Remove the radishes from the broth mixture and allow to rest on absorbent paper. Discard the broth mixture.
Preheat oven to 450*. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Cook the bacon, in a frying pan, just until done. Drain on absorbent paper. After cooled, dice and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the oil, garlic, parsley, paprika, onion powder, chives, cilantro and oregano. Stir to mix and set aside.
Place the boiled radishes on the prepared pan. Spray the bottom of a flat sided cup with cooking oil spray.  Use to flatten the radishes enough, so that toppings can rest easily on top.

(Be careful not to flatten too much, or they will fall apart when served.) Use paper towels to blot any excess liquid, that releases from the radishes, after smashed.

Spoon 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of the garlic butter mixture over the top of each radish.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each radish with a teaspoon of cheese and a sprinkling of  diced bacon. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Cool slightly before serving. 

Note: I do not like raw radishes, but I do love these! They really do taste like baked potato bites and my husband insisted that they were.
