Notes

Choose firm cucumbers for the best results and prevent them from becoming mushy. Don’t overcrowd the grill to ensure caramelization. Consider drizzle honey before grilling for added sweetness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stovetop for best texture; avoid the microwave to prevent sogginess. Use variations by changing the seasoning or adding extra vegetables on skewers.
