To make the pesto, place the pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add in half of the radish leaves and a handful of basil leaves. Start running the processor on medium speed and slowly drizzle in 30-40ml olive oil until combined. Add in 2 tbsp of grated Parmigiano Reggiano and pulse again. Set the pesto aside.
Place the remaining radish leaves in a large bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and toss to coat. Place in an air fryer and cook at 180°C for approx. 10 minutes or until crispy. Set aside.
Finely slice the radishes. Zest and juice the lemon. Place the sliced radishes in a medium-sized bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Season with half the salt flakes and massage until slightly softened. Drizzle in 1 tbsp olive oil and toss well to coat.
Arrange the sliced radishes on a plate, dot with the pesto, sprinkle over the lemon zest, Parmigiano Reggiano, dill, remaining sea salt flakes and pepper.
Finish with the crispy radish leaves and serve immediately.
