INGREDIENTS

▢
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
INSTRUCTIONS
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
