We’ve all had sweet potatoes fries – they’re all the rage now. You can find them now at hip & trendy restaurants. Do you remember Brian Malarkey from Bravo’s Top Chef? Well he lives here is SD and has opened up a few new restaurants. Of course one of the items on his menu is sweet potato fries. I have to admit, they’re pretty damn good.
So I decided to do another spin on the “healthy” oven baked fry – the Butternut Squash! I had a bunch leftover from the Butternut Squash Chipolte Glazed Skewers recipe.
So simple, here’s the recipe:
Squash Strips – cut into 1/4″ sticks
Oil Olive
Garlic
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss Squash Sticks with a few drizzles of olive oil and garlic. Use as little or as much as you want of the garlic. I used to heaping teaspoons, probably more like a tablespoon total. Prep a baking sheet with foil and then place a “cooling” rack on top. The key here is to cook the fries on a rack to have the air circulate around them. Bake for 45-50 mins. The longer the are in there the crisper they get, but be careful because they do burn easily. Serve with ketchup mixed with sriracha! Enjoy.

WHOA, major yumminess going on here! I love butternut squash in all forms but have never had it as FRIES. Good call.
