The key to success with keeping this recipe quick and easy is making sure the squash is sliced very thin. You can achieve this with a knife, obviously, but there is an easier way.

A mandoline slicer makes quick work of prepping the squash and ensures uniformly thin slices. I use mine for slicing all kinds of vegetables and I love it when slicing seitan for sandwiches.
