For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting. The roasting time may vary depending on the thickness of your cucumber spears. Check for tenderness with a fork. Feel free to experiment with different herbs to create your own unique flavor profile. Dill or chives would also work well in this dish. Serve immediately as a side dish alongside grilled chicken, fish, or steak.
