butternut squash chips/fries

P1090149I only had a little squash left so I decided to try a little experiment, and oh man is the end result delicious. This takes very little time or effort and is a really stellar alternative to greasy fast food. This food may be fast, but it’s still good for you!

ingredients:
butternut squash
olive oil
crushed red chillies
basil/oregano
salt & pepper

Preheat the oven to a medium heat. Cut the squash into fingers or “fries”. Drizzle with olive oil and add the spices. Bake in the oven for 15+ mins. At 15 the squash will already have begun to caramelise and soften. It depends of course, on how solid/soft you want the end result to be. Worth keeping an eye on the oven or having a taste in order to get it right. Makes a really great snack or side dish.
