Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or acorn squash works best. Look for squashes that are firm and have a deep color.
- Cut the squash into uniform rings: This will help them cook evenly. If the rings are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get as crispy.
- Coat the squash rings well with the spice mixture: This will help them develop a nice flavor and color.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give the squash rings plenty of space so that they can cook evenly. If they are too close together, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the squash rings until they are tender and slightly browned: This will take about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.
Conclusion:
These spiced squash rings are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite spices. Serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice for a complete meal.
