• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
• olive oil cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Roast cucumber mixture in the preheated oven until cucumber spears begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Turn the cucumbers and onion slices over and return to oven; roast until cucumbers are tender, 15 to 20 more minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with olive oil cooking spray.

Step 3

Spread pieces of butter on the baking sheet and lay cucumber spears over butter. Top with slices of sweet onion and scatter basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint over the top. Spray the vegetables again with olive oil cooking spray.
