- Preheat oven to 400. Toss squash “fries” in 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Stir. Turn oven to broil. Broil 2 minutes. While squash is cooking, make pesto by combining basil, pine nuts, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, parmesan, and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth. Set aside.
