Thick-cut cucumber planks char quickly on a hot grill, developing a tender bite while staying crisp at the core. A quick glaze of honey, sriracha, and lime brings sweet heat that clings to the charred edges, making these a quick side for grilled meats or a light summer appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, cut lengthwise into thick planks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced

Method

  1. Trim the ends off the cucumbers and slice each lengthwise into 3 or 4 thick planks.

  2. Pat the cucumber planks dry with a paper towel, then toss with olive oil and salt.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce to make the glaze.

  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. Grill the cucumber planks for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until charred grill marks form but the centers remain crisp.

  6. Transfer the grilled cucumbers to a platter and brush generously with the sriracha-honey glaze while still warm.

  7. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion before serving.
