  3. Cut squash in half and remove the seeds.
  4. Using a crinkle cutter (to make it fancy) or a regular knife, slice into fries.

  6. In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, salt and pepper.
  7. Add squash and mix to make sure its well covered.
  8. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet in single layer, not touching each other. If it's crowded, use two baking pans otherwise they will not be crispy.
