Butter-Baked Cucumber Tostadas Recipe

Recipe By PureWow

Hey, did you know you can roast cucumbers just like chicken? Brush them with melted butter, season with salt and pepper, and pop them in the oven. The result is irresistibly crisp and tender, with none of the bitter edge that sometimes characterizes cukes. To celebrate, letsmake butter-baked cucumber tostadas with creamy slaw and sriracha.
