I had only ever eaten cucumbers raw, whether in a salad or munching on as a snack. It wasn’t until I was going through foods to make for my 7-month-old that I thought to roast them! My 7-month-old wasn’t ready for raw cucumbers, but roasted cucumbers she could do! And let me tell you, they have incredible flavor when roasted. These roasted cucumbers are quick to make and it’s an easy sheet pan recipe. It makes a great dinner side for your everyday meal.

I love cucumbers because of their water content, so I would always add them to my salads. However, when roasted, their natural sweetness comes out and the skin gets nice and soft… I now prefer them roasted over raw.

For Littles

My 13-month-old absolutely LOVES these roasted cucumbers. I started serving them to her at 7 months, just letting her explore the flavor and texture. Roasted cucumbers are great for babies when they’re not ready yet to eat them raw. And now my 13-month-old absolutely loves cucumber both roasted and raw.

You can cut them into sticks or smaller pieces so they’re easier for your little one to pick them up – that is how I cut them for this recipe. You can also slice them lengthwise if you prefer or if it’s for an older little!

This is how I serve it to my 13-month-old:

How To

Cut the cucumbers into sticks, and combine the sliced cucumbers with olive oil, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Roast!

Serve!
