I didn't have any squash on hand, so I used zucchini instead. The zucchini rings turned out just as delicious as the squash rings.

I had some trouble getting the squash rings to brown evenly. I think I needed to cook them for a little longer.

The squash rings were a bit bland for my taste, even though I used all of the spices called for in the recipe.

The squash rings were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a heavy hand with the spices.
