Ingredients
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 10 chives chopped
- 4 leaves basil leaves
- 1 sprig thyme leaves only
- 2-3 leaves sage chopped
- 1 lemon zested
- ½ tsp salt Maldon or Adriatic
- 1 clove garlic chopped finely
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium butternut squash peeled well and ends removed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F Convection or 400°F Regular. Arrange oven racks in the upper 1/3 and lower 1/3 of the oven.
- By hand, mix all the herbs, lemon zest, salt, garlic and olive oil together. Set aside.¼ cup parsley, 10 chives, 4 leaves basil, 1 sprig thyme, 2-3 leaves sage, 1 lemon, ½ tsp salt, 1 clove garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil
- Slice the long end of the squash into ¼-inch rounds, slice each round in half. Slice the bulb end of the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and slice into ¼-inch slices.1 medium butternut squash
- Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Distribute the squash pieces evenly between the two sheets. Distribute the herb mixture equally between the two cookie sheets and toss the squash slices all around the mixture so that they are coated well. Lay the squash slices flat and spread them out.
- Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the squash pieces over and place back in the oven, and cook for another 15 minutes. If you are using convection, no need to rotate sheets. If you are not using convection, rotate sheets so that the sheet that was on the top rack is now on the bottom rack.
- Enjoy hot or room temp. They are also great re-heated in a hot oven the next day!
Cooking Tips
- Uniform thickness: Ensure that all squash slices are of uniform thickness to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Herb freshness: Use fresh herbs for the best flavour and aroma; dried herbs can be used in a pinch but adjust quantities as they are more potent.
- Additional flavourings: Experiment with different herbs or add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour without the dairy.
