• Butternut squash – Make sure it’s heavy with firm skin, but without bruises, no brown scars, or punctures.
• Olive oil – You can use cooking oil or other flavored oil, such as garlic oil, avocado oil, chili oil. Olive oil enhances the flavor of the squash.
• Seasoning – There is a lot more you can add to this squash to compliment the main course you are serving. Try paprika, garlic salt, thyme, rosemary, ready-made potato seasonings, etc

Step by step instructions

• Preheat the oven to 220 C/ 430 F.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup – set aside
• To clean the butternut squash cut off the two ends at the top and bottom. Use a vegetable peeler and peel the squash.
• Then, use a large chef’s knife to split the squash in two. Remove the seed and cut each half in half, then, cut each half into four or five slices.
• Place the slices in a bowl, add salt, pepper, and olive oil. And any additional seasoning like paprika, thyme, rosemary, etc.
• Layer the slices on the prepared baking tray
• Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through.
• Serve immediately
