Butternut Squash Fries
Butternut Squash Fries are baked at a high temperature until tender with lightly browned edges, offering a slightly sweet alternative to traditional fries. The squash is peeled and cut into uniform fry shapes to ensure even cooking, then tossed lightly with sea salt before baking on parchment. They crisp up nicely without heavy oil, serving well with ketchup or preferred dipping sauces.
