Line 2 cookie sheets with foil, distribute the squash pieces evenly between the two sheets. Distribute the herb mixture equally between the two cookie sheets and toss the squash slices all around the mixture so that they are coated well. Lay the squash slices flat and spread them out.

Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes, remove from oven, flip the squash pieces over and place back in the oven, and cook for another 15 minutes. If you are using convection, no need to rotate sheets. If you are not using convection, rotate sheets so that the sheet that was on the top rack is now on the bottom rack.
