Butternut Squash Chips
Description
The Butternut Squash Chips recipe begins by slicing butternut squash into very thin rounds about 1/8-inch thick, with the option to remove skins for a smoother texture. The slices are evenly coated with olive oil and seasoned with a blend of sea salts, black pepper, and smoked paprika, which adds depth and a subtle smoky flavor.
Baked at 375°F without overlapping, the chips are flipped midway to promote even crisping and browning. The final texture is crisp and lightly browned on the edges, with a tender center. Cooling on the baking sheet and then on a rack ensures the chips firm up properly.
Serving suggestions include an optional dip made from mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and fresh chopped herbs, complementing the smoky, salty chips with a creamy and fresh contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt flaky

- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices after 20 minutes. Rotate the sheet to ensure even baking.
