Roast

This garlic fries recipe is baked, not fried, so it's healthy. Sorta? Kinda?

"This is a play on English cucumber finger sandwiches," says chef David Kinch of Manresa restaurant in Los Gatos, CA, who roasts the cucumbers to deepen their flavor. "It also works fantastically on the grill." Use any cucumber, such as Japanese, Persian, or English hothouse, available at supermarkets and farmers' markets.

This vibrant sauce makes good use of an over abundance of chives. It's an ideal accompaniment to classic roasted potatoes.
