Parmesan Squash Chips Recipes

CRISPY SQUASH CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Use a vegetable peeler to peel squash skin as thinly as possible. Chop peels into 1-inch square pieces; you should have about 1 cup squash peels. Reserve squash flesh for another use.
• Mix olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, cumin, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add squash peels and stir until evenly coated. Spread peels onto 2 baking sheets.
• Roast in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes; watch closely as thinner chips can burn quickly.
• Season roasted chips with salt as needed.

ACORN SQUASH CHIPS

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats. Quarter 1 medium acorn squash and scoop out the seeds. Slice the squash quarters crosswise about 1/16 inch thick using a mandoline. Drizzle with olive oil and toss; arrange on the baking sheets in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 250 degrees F, 50 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Flip the slices and continue baking until browned, about 15 more minutes. Transfer the chips to a rack to cool.

• Whisk olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Add squash rounds and stir until evenly combined.
• Place squash in the basket of the air fryer making sure to not overcrowd. You will likely need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Flip squash over and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Cook for 2 minutes more or until cheese has melted and starting to brown.
