Butternut Squash Fries
Food Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder of chili powder Dash of cayenne (optional) Salt and black pepper, to taste
Recipe preparation:
1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 2 Use a vegetable peeler to carefully peel the rind from the squash. Keep peeling until all the little green lines have disappeared. 3 Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a metal spoon to scoop out the seeds and all that other goopy stuff. 4 Now, cut the neck off of the squash and cut large wedges, as equal in size as possible. 5 You can do the same with the “bowls” of the squash or you can save those for another recipe. Stuffed butternut squash, anyone? 6 Toss your wedges and spices into a large bowl that has a tight-fitting lid. 7 Secure the lid and shake the wedges around until they are all well-coated. 8 Place in a single layer on a large, lightly-oiled baking sheet. 9 Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the fries over, and bake another 10-15 minutes, until outside is crisp and inside is soft.
