Butternut Squash Fries
Description
This simple recipe transforms butternut squash into fries by peeling, deseeding, and cutting it into similarly sized sticks. Baking at 425°F develops a light browning on the edges and soft interior. Sea salt adds flavor without overpowering the natural sweetness of the squash.
The cooking method avoids deep frying, using the oven to gently roast the fries until they start to brown and become tender. Flipping them halfway ensures even cooking. The fries maintain a balance of slight crispness and soft texture.
They are best served warm alongside ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. These fries offer a vegetable-based side that complements a variety of meals and can be a nutritious snack.
