Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash (approx. 2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoons oil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper (plus extra to taste)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- Use a sharp knife to carefully cut away the peel from the squash. I've also used a veggie peeler on my butternut squash before - true story! Cut squash into 4-inch strips about half an inch thick.
- Coat fries with approx. 1 teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Arrange evenly spaced on a wire cooling rack and set atop a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This is my favorite faux-frying technique! Crispy outside, fluffy inside... It never fails me.
- Pop em in the oven at 450 F, set your timer to 30 minutes, and walk away. The oven will take care of the rest!
Notes
- The cayenne controls the heat so add a little or a lot! Sweet paprika makes a great swap if you want some flavor without the fire.
- Nutrition facts below are an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator. Values will vary slightly depending on size of squash and extras added.
