Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I substitute the radishes with another vegetable?
A: Yes, you can substitute the radishes with other firm vegetables like baby carrots, zucchini slices, or cherry tomatoes. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the vegetable you choose, so monitor them closely to avoid overcooking.
Q: What can I use instead of miso paste?
A: If you don’t have miso paste, you can substitute it with a mix of soy sauce and a small amount of tahini or peanut butter to mimic the umami and creamy texture. However, note that the flavor profile may not be identical.
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the glaze and Sesame Lime Dip up to two days in advance and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The radishes can also be prepped and skewered a day ahead. Just glaze and cook them fresh for the best results.
Q: What’s the best way to store leftovers?
A: Store leftover radish skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven or on a stovetop grill for a few minutes until warmed through. The Sesame Lime Dip should also be stored in the fridge and consumed within 3 days.
Q: Can I make this recipe without a grill?
A: Yes, you can make this recipe using an oven. Simply follow the instructions for roasting the skewers on a lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C). Rotating the skewers halfway through will ensure even cooking and caramelization.
Q: What are some variations or additional garnishes I can try?
A: For extra flavor, you can sprinkle the finished skewers with chopped fresh cilantro, green onions, or a pinch of chili flakes. You can also add a drizzle of sriracha or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a spicy or tangy kick.
Q: Why are my radishes turning out soggy instead of caramelized?
A: If your radishes are soggy, it could be due to overcrowding on the skewers or not enough heat. Ensure the radishes are evenly spaced on the skewers to allow proper airflow, and make sure your grill or oven is fully preheated to 400°F (200°C) before cooking. Also, avoid over-brushing with glaze, as too much liquid can prevent caramelization.
