Ingredients

  • 1 delicata squash
  • ¼ oil (canola, vegetable or peanut oil)

Spice Mix

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Slice the squash into ⅛ inch slices, and discard the ends.
  • In a small bowl, combine all the spices in the ingredient list
  • Toss the squash slices in oil and then coat them with the spices

Bake them in the oven

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Oil (liberally) a cookie sheet and put it into the oven to get it nice and hot.
    (This step is crucial to start the squash off crispy)
  • Once the pan is very hot and the oven has reached it's temperature, lay the slices down onto the cookie sheet
  • Bake for 20-25 mins, then flip the squash (Try not to flip them too often, so it can create a crust)
  • Bake for another 20 mins
  • Remove from the oven to cool slightly to get that crisp but eat it right away.
    This dish tastes best fresh so dig in!

Notes

  • Make sure your tray is piping hot before putting the slices down to start off the initial crisping
  • Don't throw away these seeds! You can toast them up with some oil, and some spice of your choice for a crispy snack as well!
