ROASTED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS WITH FRESH HERBS



Roasted Cucumbers and Onions with Fresh Herbs image

I invented this recipe out of a need for a way to use the surplus cucumbers from a friend's garden this summer. I had never heard of someone roasting cucumbers, and a quick internet search turned up nothing, so I thought it would make an interesting culinary experiment. As it turned out, though, I discovered a new family favorite! This fast and easy recipe makes a great side dish for any occasion. Great with chicken or steak! I've even eaten it by itself for a light lunch. What more could you ask for?

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

1 English cucumber
A spoonful of olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Handful chopped fresh mint or dill

Season with salt and pepper and toss in the mint. Serve warm or at room temperature.
