Butternut squash fries you and your kids will love!

Butternut Squash Fries

Move over sweet potato…there’s a new squash in town!

Is there anyone who doesn’t like French Fries? No one can resist a good, crisp, fresh, hot, salty french fry. My love affair with fries means I just can’t get enough of the finger-licking potato delight.  These aren’t just any old french fries, they’re butternut squash fries. This is a great way to Satisfy your cravings!

These guys taste so much like sweet potato that you may hardly be able to tell the difference. Which is not a bad thing, since sweet potatoes are delicious and healthier for you! Even potato-avoiders don’t have to give up this indulgence and on a side note… they are ridiculously quick and easy to make.

Ingredients
  1. 1 large butternut squash, cut into steak fries
  2. 2-4 tbsp olive oil
  3. 2 t. garlic salt
  4. 2. t ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 Degrees.
  2. Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half where the long section meets the bulb- like section. Cut the bulb-like section in half and scrape out the seeds. Cut all the squash into 1/2" thick fries.
  3. Place the cut fries in a large plastic bag with the oil , garlic salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and massage it with your hands to coat the fries well.
  4. Arrange onto a cooling rack set over a baking sheet ( the space beneath the cooling rack will allow for circulating air and a crispier fry)
  5. Cook for 30- 40 minutes, turn fries over and cook for another 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately.
Notes
  1. If you want to spice things up you can use chipotle chile powder for a spicy smoky flavour OR Chinese 5 spice powder for a sweet flavour.

    My daughter made butternut squash fries last year! They were really good. I like them possibly better than sweet potato fries.
