Happy Sunday to you all and hope you are enjoying wellness. Today I will be sharing with you another recipe from my kitchen, and this time its a healthy toasted cucumber 🥒 alongside some drops of veggies of carrot 🥕 and onion stem for a side dish.

Recipes are something we can create out of anything food, vegetables or fruits. And cucumber 🥒 being a vegetable with lots of health benefits, vitamins and nutrients is one that can also serve  as food or side dishes and not just for eating raw or making drinks.

Their mild taste and refreshing crunch make them suitable for adding to salads 🥗, sandwiches 🥪 or accompanying rich or highly flavored dishes, such as curries and stews, but this recipe is one that shows how we can also toast our cucumber with some dips into flour crumbs that will leave it crispy after toasting. Its very simple , quick and straightforward with just few ingredients, cucumber 🥒 being the base.

We take it into the oven and toast it for just 15 minutes at 200 Celsius, allowing the cucumber to dry and crisp up.

How deliciously we can enjoy our cucumbers by also toasting them for light lunch or as a side dish, accompanying it with anything. Its taste so good and you can pair this toast with any vegetable of your choice or make it in your own version. I recommend this healthy side dish to you all.

Thank you for reading and supporting friends. Hope you love ❤️ it. Stay blessed 😇.
