Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Acorn Squash Chips.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a vegetable peeler and gently peel the skin off the acorn squash, aiming for thin strips.
Step 3
Once you have a nice pile of peels, chop them into 1-inch square pieces until you gather about 1 cup.
Step 4
Set the vibrant squash flesh aside for another delicious recipe.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, drizzle in some olive oil and sprinkle in sea salt, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Toss in the squash peels and mix everything together until the peels are beautifully coated in the flavorful blend.
Step 7
Next, spread the seasoned peels out on two baking sheets, making sure they lie flat in a single layer for even cooking.
Step 8
Pop them into your preheated oven and let them bake for 13 to 15 minutes, keeping a watchful eye on them.
Step 9
Thinner chips can turn from golden to burnt in a flash! When they’re perfectly crispy and golden brown, take them out and sprinkle with a little extra salt if you like.
Step 10
Now, sit back, enjoy your crunchy, flavorful squash peels, and feel good about reducing food waste while treating yourself to a tasty snack!.
