Description

Deliciously crispy and flavorful butternut squash chips made by thinly slicing butternut squash, seasoning with herbs and spices, and baking until perfectly crunchy. A healthy and tasty snack option that’s easy to make and perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

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 or paprika (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to prepare for baking the butternut squash chips.
  2. Slice the butternut squash: Remove the top of the butternut squash and cut the neck into thin slices using a knife or mandolin slicer. Keep the skin on for a rustic texture. For larger squash, halve or quarter the slices to ensure even baking.
  3. Coat the slices with oil: Place the slices in a bowl and rub in the avocado or olive oil thoroughly to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the squash slices out in a single layer without overlapping to promote crispiness.
  5. Season the chips: Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the slices, add fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs, and optionally dust with cayenne pepper or paprika for a hint of heat and extra flavor.
  6. Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the slices are hardened and browned, adjusting time depending on slice thickness.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Enjoy the butternut squash chips on their own or paired with your favorite dips.

Notes

  • Slice thickness affects baking time; thinner slices become crispier faster.
  • Keeping the skin on adds texture and nutritional value.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities based on your flavor preference.
  • Use a mandolin slicer for uniform slices and even baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
