Instructions
- Wash the outside of the Squash. Slice off the stalk end. Cut in half across the diameter of the Squash. Then cut each half in half. This provides a flat surface for chopping. Remove the seeds.
- With a firm grip on each Squash quarter, remove the rind with a vegetable peeler. Butternut Squash rind is edible but not desirable with these fries.
- Place a flat surface of Squash on a chopping board and with a sharp knife, make ¼ - ½ inch slices. Place these slices on the board and cut ¼ - ½ inch pieces to give thick sticks of Squash.
- Place the Squash sticks in a bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over them.
- Use your hands to toss the Squash sticks in the cornstarch. If needed, put the sticks into a colander to remove extra cornstarch. I did not have any extra, my Squash sticks absorbed all the cornstarch.
- Put the avocado oil, hot paprika, sweet paprika, granulated garlic, salt and pepper into a separate bowl and mix together.
- Swirl the seasoned oil half way up the bowl to coat the bowl, this will help evenly distribute the oil onto the Squash sticks.
- Add the Squash to the bowl of seasoned oil.
- Use your hands again to mix thoroughly ensuring every stick is covered with oil.
- Place the seasoned oil covered squash sticks into the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. Air Fry for 5-7 minutes at 400 degrees F / 205 degrees C.
