Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 medium butternut squash (preferably with a skinny neck)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • fresh rosemary or thyme sprig
  • optional: cayenne pepper/paprika

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 190 Celsius/375 Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the top of the butternut squash and cut the neck into thin slices. You can do this by hand or with a mandolin slicer. It is not necessary to remove the skins - with the skin on you get s slightly more rustic taste. For larger butternut squash, you might want to halve or even quarter your slices. You're the boss.
  • In a bowl, rub in the olive oil, making sure that all slices are coated.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or a silicone baking mat, making sure the slices do not overlap
  • Season with sea salt and scatter over the rosemary or thyme (or a bit of both). Sprinkle sparingly with cayenne pepper if you'd like a bit of heat. I also seasoned some with paprika, with tasted equally yummy.
  • Bake for ca 20-25 minutes until the crisps are hardened and browned. THis time will vary depending on how thin your slices are.
  • Enjoy on their own or with dips
