    Nutritional Info

    Ingredients

    1 butternut squash, preferably with a skinny neck

    1 tbsp olive oil

    sea salt

    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
