Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb-Roasted Cucumbers and Onions.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil, then give the foil a light spritz of olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Scatter pieces of butter evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a rich base for your vegetables.
Step 4
Next, artfully arrange cucumber spears on top of the butter, followed by a delicate layer of sweet onion slices.
Step 5
Elevate the flavors by generously sprinkling chopped basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint over the entire arrangement.
Step 6
For a finishing touch, lightly mist the vegetables with olive oil cooking spray to enhance their natural flavors.
Step 7
Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and let it roast for about 10 minutes, just until the cucumbers begin to soften.
Step 8
With care, flip the cucumber and onion slices to ensure even cooking, then return the dish to the oven.
Step 9
Continue roasting for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cucumbers reach a tender perfection.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your dish transforms into a vibrant medley of flavors.
