Meghan - Watermelon Radish "Fries"

So I had some watermelon radish left over after our Spring Valley Middle School presentation and I wanted to do something with it that would expand on the versatility of this vegetable. With all the remaining vegetables, I just roasted them up with olive oil and rosemary (which was tasty) but I wanted something different for this very vibrant coloured radish.

Here is a great recipe that I got from a friend but sadly I didn't have all the ingredients on hand to make it but did make a variation of these fries that were very yummy!

1.5 lbs watermelon radishes, scrubbed clean and removing the green outer layer
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds

1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
sea salt (to taste)
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Chop watermelon radishes into large matchsticks. 

In a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients to the matchsticks and mix well. Spread evenly into a 9 x 13 lined with parchment paper or larger roasting pan. 
Bake for 30- 40 minutes, turning 2-3 times, or until crisp on the outside and golden brown.
