Baked Cucumbers With Cauliflower image

This recipe was inspired by recipe#1722 by Traci & Jeff Poole1. Cucumbers make a lovely hot vegetable dish and maintain their crispness when baked. You may use them much like you would a Zucchini. In this recipe I used Cauliflower but other veggies would work equally well - Corn, Carrots & peas, just about anything. Try experimenting. This first time I didn't sprinkle with parmesan cheese but I will in the future. I hate wasting those lovely Cukes and this year they have gone crazy. This may be baked in your toaster oven.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan yogurt sauce instead. It was just as delicious!

The cucumbers were a bit too soft for my taste, but the cauliflower was perfectly roasted. The yogurt sauce was also very good.
