Ingredients

2 - medium acorn squash
2 Tbsp - avocado oil
1/3 cup - pork panko *
1 1/2 tsp - Italian seasoning (watch that ingredients are compliant)
1 tsp - dried minced onion
1/2 tsp - garlic powder
sea salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Cut the top and bottom off of each acorn squash, cut in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds. Slice the acorn squash into 1/2″ slices.
In a large bowl, combine the acorn squash with the rest of the ingredients and toss to coat.
Transfer to a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper, making sure to arrange the squash in a single layer and not over-crowd the pan.
Roast at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes, flipping the acorn squash halfway through for even cooking.
Best served immediately.

Notes

* Pork Panko Substitute: You could also use compliant pork rinds - crush to a powder

Leftovers: Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for a day or two.

Reheating: Just pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to warm through and crisp up again.
