EASY OVEN BAKED SQUASH CHIPS RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by Pattywak
Number Of Ingredients 3
Steps:
- Using either a mandolin or a knife, cut the squash into very thin slices. Spray a cookie sheet (or two) liberally with cooking spray. Arrange the squash slices on the cookie sheets, ensuring that they don't touch (they can be really close to each other, but not touching). Preheat the oven to 200°F. Evenly sprinkle salt over the squash slices. Be careful not to use too much salt because the chips will shrink while cooking, which means they could end up being overly salty. You can always add more salt after they are baked. Sprinkle any additional desired seasonings on the chips. Put the cookie sheets in the preheated oven. Let the squash chips bake for 2-3 hours (check them at 2 hours and see how long they need from there). The longer you bake them, the crunchier they will be. Remove the chips from the oven when done, let cool, and serve with your favorite dips or on their own.

Steps:
- 1. Coat squash slices with olive oil.
- 2. In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
- 3. Add squash slices to cheese mixture, I did it one by one, then placed on a Pam sprayed foil lined cookie sheet. Top slices with remaining cheese. Bake 30 minutes, no need to turn, they crisp up on both sides by themselves.

- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash and zucchini are the best choices for making chips.
- Cut the squash thinly and evenly: This will help the chips to cook evenly.
- Toss the squash with oil and seasonings: This will help the chips to brown and crisp up.
- Bake the chips at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy.
- Watch the chips closely while they are baking: They can burn easily.
- Let the chips cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up even more.
