Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium Butternut Squash: peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil: for crisping and flavor
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese: freshly grated for a nutty, savory finish
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder: adds warmth and depth
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme: earthy and aromatic
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt: enhances overall flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper: a hint of spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Lay the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over each slice.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp on the edges.
- Allow the chips to cool slightly on the tray to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for even slicing and best results.
- Watch the chips closely during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To re-crisp, warm them in a hot oven for a few minutes.
