Step 1: Wash the radishes
This probably goes without saying but it is important to give these radishes a wash before you start cutting them.
When you cut them you will be introducing what is on the outside of the radish into the flesh of the radish.
Radishes are root vegetables and they are covered with the dirt that they were growing in. When you are washing them make sure the radishes have not gone bad.
Step 2: Sharpen the knife
When cutting a radish you want to make sure you have a sharp knife. These little spheres will roll all over the place and you want to make sure that you can cut through them with ease.
There are a lot of varieties of radishes that you can cut these ways.
Step 3: Cut the ends off
Being that these are root vegetables you are going to have a root end and the stem of the vegetable.
Cut them off as close as you can to save the most you can out of this little radish.
Step 4: Make a small slice on the side
I like to make a small slice on the side, this gives the radish some stability when you go to cut it.
You could always place it on the cut side of the root or stem end but I like to see the round sphere of the radish.

Step 5: Cut into Slices
Now that you have some stability to this little vegetable go ahead and cut across the radish to make nice little circles. You can make them as thick or as thin as you wish. I like to cut them in the 1/8″ to 1/4″ range.
