Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Thinly slice the neck of a medium sized butternut squash (abt 1/4 in thick). Drizzle with olive oil and sea salt.

Bake at 400 for 6 minutes, then flip for another 4-5. You don’t want to bake it too long, or it will get too mushy to use.

We love Akua kelp burgers, but you could use any veggie burger you prefer! 

Pan fry in a little evo according to package instructions.
