Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cut into sticks (use only long neck part)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper
- Mayo & herbs for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper
- Place the butternut squash sticks into a large bowl and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add the corn starch on top and use your hands to coat the butternut squash completely. Transfer the butternut squash to a colander and shake to remove excess cornstarch.
- Return the butternut squash fries to the bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika and thyme. Toss to combine evenly.
- Transfer the fries in a single layer to the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and crisp. Allow 5-10 minutes to cool. Then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It's best to reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes or in a toaster to crisp them up again.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can switch the corn starch to flour and feel free to switch around the herbs.
