Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 cups (about 1 3/4-pounds) Daikon radish, (peeled & sliced - see instruction no. 2. for instructions)
  • 3½ tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1½ teaspoons chili paste ((I like Sambal Oelek))
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium Tamari or soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ginger pulp, (freshly grated)
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F, and adjust a rack to the center.
  • Cut the Daikon into sections approximately 3-inches long, then cut about ¼-inch slices off the side of each one, to make a base. Stand the sections on their bases, and cut them, vertically into slices about ¼-inch thick. Stand these slices on top of each other, and then cut them into sticks about ¼-inch thick. Add all of the Daikon slices to a baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oil, chili paste, Tamari or soy sauce, ginger, sugar and salt.
  • Drizzle this over the Daikon slices and then use your hands to toss them until they're all evenly coated and in a single layer.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated 475°F oven and roast until they are golden brown on all sides, about 30 minutes. (You should gently toss/flip them about halfway through the cooking time.)
  • Add a double layer of paper towels to another baking sheet, and when the fries are done, add them on top of the towels to drain and cool.
  • Serve!
