Fan/Gas 8. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven as it
heats.

Cut the butternut squash into
strips, one centimeter thick (½ in).
-
In a medium bowl mix the olive
oil, thyme and oregano. Toss the sliced squash and mix

In the same bowl, mix the
orange zest and orange juice. Add the warm squash and toss
gently.

soft, rather than crispy. To crisp them up you can fry
them in oil, like normal potato fries. They are nice as an
accompaniment to chicken.
