Move over potatoes, radishes make the crispiest and most decadent keto corned beef hash everrrrrrr. Say hi to your new low carb breakfast bestie – for real!!!
So there is currently a cauliflower and broccoli shortage here in Belize – true story. I went to buy cauliflower the other day and there was none to be found anywhere. I asked one of the workers at a local produce stand I frequent if they would be getting some soon and to my surprise she said no. Belize has put a ban on imported cauliflower and broccoli until their own growing season ends, but they didn’t produce much of either this season, so our island will be out for the foreseeable future.
Usually I’d be freaking out about this, but since radishes are plentiful and cheap here, I AIN’T EVEN MAD. I have a low carb cauliflower and corned beef hash from waaaaaaay back when IBIH first went low carb around 5 years ago – and it’s good, but this version made with radishes frankly blows that one out of the water.
Cauliflower just doesn’t crisp up like radishes do, so they are my new go-to potato replacement in fried applications and recipes like this keto corned beef hash. It’s awesome. Just LOOK. AT. IT.
Super crispy, with that salty, briny corned beef hash flavor that we love! It goes perfectly with fried eggs, or you can eat it alone like I do sometimes for lunch or dinner. It’s just that good.
Sometimes I cook it up and then spread it in a casserole dish and break my eggs into little depressions I make with a spoon. Then you bake it until the eggs are done to your liking and cut into it casserole style. So yummy and great for a crowd or brunch – you can even do it in muffin cups for individual servings. The possibilities are delicious and endless with this keto corned beef hash!
I used a good quality canned corned beef that I can get here in Belize (for $8 US per can, *gulp*!) to make this version, but if you’ve got leftover corned beef that would also be fantastic – just be sure to chop it really fine before cooking with the radishes and onions.
You’ll need to be patient with this keto corned beef hash recipe – the chemistry of the process can’t be rushed. First the radishes mellow and release their moisture and it cooks off as steam – be sure to dice them small, about 1/4 inch pieces.
Then you add the corned beef to the pan and the radishes absorb the fat (and flavor) and crisp up beautifully. The mixture goes from an unappetizing looking pink mush to crispy keto breakfast perfection in about 15 minutes.
It’s totally worth the time, I promise! Just a few minutes of prep and cooking time to a delicious low carb breakfast that even the carb-lovingest critics will rave about!!!
As a final side note, if you use sugar free corned beef this is a Whole 30 compliant dish as well!

This was absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing. I added an extra cup of Radishes so It’d be a better ratio for my liking. So good!
Barbara Owen says
Excellent recipe Melissa! Thank you.
I even adapted it with small dice leftover ham which I had previously frozen. I would use the ham in soups and other slow cooked dishes. The defrosted ham was cut up into smaller pieces and I followed the recipe. It was very delicious and I would make it this way again if I don’t have corned beef available. Even the picky eaters enjoyed it.

After my breakfast attempt fail with the strawberry coconut smoothie, my husband and I were starving so I made this. It came out quite well and we both liked the taste and texture. I think I will cut the oregano in half the next time I make this dish.
I served it with an egg over easy on top.
Angela Kirby says
Absolutely love this! I was skeptical as I’d never eaten radishes before, very nice surprise. I’ll be cooking with radishes from now on.
Trish says
Oh my goodness!! Mellissa, you continue to blow my mind. Can I say incredible?! This was absolutely, insanely delicious, not even exaggerating. Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort you put into creating your recipes! I’ve only been keto for a short while now and your recipes don’t make me miss anything. (I even put a bit of sugar free homemade ketchup on, to top it off. Next time I’ll use some mustard and have it that way!)
Lauren says
This is amazing. I used a can of corned beef. I will prob double the radishes next time to get closer to the classic hash texture.
archk says
I love all your books and recipes! :-)
As I don’t eat beef or pork, I am always looking to modify some of your recipes…and honestly…i feel they always come out so good.
Can I replaced beef with turkey sausage for this recipe?
Do I have to any other changes? Thank you!! :-)
Mellissa Sevigny says
That would definitely change the flavor profile quite a bit but it should still be tasty!
Mary Ford says
I’m newer to Keto/low carb eating. I know if I don’t find good substitutes for carb heavy dishes I won’t make it. I love corned beef hash so thought this would be a good day to try it. I’m 60 years old and never knew radishes could be cooked! Now I’m thinking what else I can cook them in. This was a very tasty dish, easy to make and not as greasy as the canned corned beef hash. Will be including this as a weekend breakfast treat. Good job!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks Mary!

I never liked radishes til 4 years ago when i went Keto. Red or daikon are great in soups. Spiralize daikon for peppery doodles. Roast red peppers with onions for a tasty side dish.
Dewey says
This dish has become my go-to when I’m craving that crispy, salty deliciousness of corned beef hash. I was used to the canned hash (versus homemade) so I double up on the radishes to more closely create what I’m familiar with. Awesome with a fried egg or two on top. Thanks so much!
Gillian says
This is amazing! I found this using the SCK plan and I’m going to make this recipe over and over again! My husband loves corned beef hash and this is a perfect substitute that you can’t tell it’s radishes. I really need to know if this can this be frozen after cooking?? Thank you for the recipe!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’ve never tried freezing it, but theoretically I don’t see why it couldn’t work?
KN says
Is this recipe meant to use one cup of radishes, diced, or should it be one cup of diced radishes? Those are two very different measurements and the latter seems more proportionately appropriate. Thanks!
Mellissa Sevigny says
One cup of diced radishes is the correct amount.
