Preheat the oven to 425 degrees

Get a butternut squash

Cut the top off

Then cut off the bottom

Hold the squash upright and cut off all the skin

Some people find it easier to use a traditional peeler, whatever works best for you!

Cut the squash in half

Using a spoon remove all the seeds

Slice each half into sections that are 1/4 inch tall

Then slice each section into 1/4 inch strips

Cut the strips into 1/4 inch pieces

Toss the squash in a bowl and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Don't forget to add some salt and pepper.

Spread the squash on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes. Every 10 minutes stir and rotate the pan. They will be slightly darker and soft to the bite when done.
