Ingredients

• 2 butternut squashes with long necks
• Parmesan cheese
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2. Cut the necks of the squashes off of the bases. Peel each neck and slice it into thin slices, about 1/8th of an inch thick.

3. Drop the slices into the boiling water and boil for 2 minutes (this allows the squash to get crispy when baked). After 2 minutes, carefully drain and rinse under the faucet until the slices are cool to the touch. Pat the slices with a towel to remove excess water.

4. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper, and top them with slices. Be careful that the slices do not touch. Brush with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle on a little kosher salt, and top with finely grated Parmesan cheese.

5. This is the tricky part – bake the chips until crispy, for about 15-20 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them and remove them when they turn brown and crispy – the timing for your oven may be shorter or longer.

6. Enjoy! Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to one week.
