Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, mix lime juice, zest and herbs. Set aside.
Place squash in a single layer on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub each squash piece with oil mixture until well coated.
