1Tbspolive oil15g
2tspsalt
¼tsppepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425.
Wash and dry your squash, and carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Using an ice cream scoop, scrape out the seedy middle, and slice each half into thin half-circles. Lay them out on a large sheet pan.
Spray squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. (You can add any other spices you love at this point! We love rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Or a chili powder, paprika, garlic combo. But sometimes we just keep them simple!) Roast for 25 minutes or until tender. Enjoy as a side, or even as a side dipped in marinara or a yogurt sauce. We also love these piled onto our salads or even tucked in crunch wraps.
