These Asian-inspired marinated cucumbers are total flavor bombs and are perfect as a side dish or a snack. Even better, they take almost no time to prepare--the main chunk of time is just allowing them to marinate in the fridge! These are regularly requested in our house, and we're known to go through an entire batch in 24 hours because we can't stop eating them. Crunchy, salty, sweet, with a satisfying umami punch, these will easily become part of your regular recipe rotation!

Wash and dry the cucumbers, then trim the ends off on each side. Slice at a bias into .5" thick slices and place into a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, add honey, rice vinegar, and Everything Bagel Seasoning and mix well.
In a small saucepan, combine minced garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, and sesame oil. Cook over medium-low heat while gently swirling the pan until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the garlic/ginger mixture over the honey mixture and mix well until fully combined.
Sprinkle salt over the sliced cucumbers and use a wooden spoon to toss the slices and evenly distribute the salt.
Pour the sauce mixture over the cucumbers and stir using the wooden spoon to distribute and make sure every slice is coated..
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

The longer you allow these to marinate, the better and more flavorful they'll be. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
