Makes 2 servings - uses approximately 8 oz of your daily vegetable allowance
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- PAM or other zero-calorie cooking spray
- some flavoring options:
sweet |
savory |
• zero-calorie sweetener
|
• salt |
• cinnamon
|
• pepper
|
• nutmeg
|
• garlic powder |
• butter buds |
• onion powder
|
• any other seasoning that appeals to you |
Directions
- slice squash in half lengthwise
- peel and scoop out seeds
- take one half and place “inside down” on cutting board
- start at one end and slice very thin
- the slices will come out like the shape of rainbows
- if you have a slicer it will be easier than using a knife
- slice second half as described above
- spray lightly with zero-calorie cooking spray
- too much spray will make them soggy; use just enough so they won't stick to the pan
- if you plan to flavor the chips, toss with seasoning of choice
- place single layer on pizza pan
- use a pan with holes so they cook from both sides
- bake at 350⁰ for approximately 30 minutes, until a little brown around the edges
- let cool without stacking the chips so they stay crispy
- eat them plain or dip in legal salsa, guacamole, Walden Farms pancake syrup, etc
- to simplify the process consider investing in a set such as Mastrad® Topchips™ or other brand of food dehydrator
