Better than french fries!

Butternut Squash Fries

Pre-heat oven to 425*.

Peel and de-seed a butternut squash. ( I found that putting the squash whole in oven for about 10 minutes softens it up and makes it easier to peel and cut)

Once peeled and seeded slice into french fry strip shapes.
Place on cookie sheet that is lined with foil and sprayed with olive oil non-stick spray. (be sure to use the olive oil style)
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.

Place in oven and bake for 40 minutes flipping halfway through. Fries are done when they are starting to brown and get crispy.


** I love potatoes! So trying to cut them out of my diet as much as possible was hard to do. I LOVE THESE SQUASH FRIES! They are sweeter than potatoes and sooo yummy! A little work to cut and peel the squash but if you like it you won't mind the job!**
