French Fries are EVERYONE’s Achilles heel. Seriously, who turns down that savory, greasy, delicious side that every restaurant buys in massive bulk? Unfortunately, the fries are usually the tipping point from making your meal borderline healthy to the reason those jeans don’t fit anymore. Even the healthier sweet potato fries still contain a decent amount of carbs (albeit good ones). But we have a solution that cuts the carb count in half while still giving you a nice finger food side.
Ingredients: 1 medium size butternut squash (makes about 3 servings), olive oil, salt & pepper (other spices if desired).
Directions: Cut the top stem, half squash vertically, and seed. Slice the top half away from the bulb of the squash. Cut fri-like strips out of the top portion. The bulb will produce a more “C” like shape but the final product will all taste the same.
Toss with olive oil and spices. Bake on 350 for about 40 mins. They live up to their name with a great buttery taste that you will definitely make room for on your Thanksgiving table.

What kind of spices do you typically recommend? Are you the type who would put only salt and pepper on the fries, or do you usually put anything that you can find on the spicerack on them?

Spices are what make food interesting so we’re never afraid to change it up. On the fries, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder or oregano would give them a nice kick. The good thing about squash (or sweet potato) is that their flavor could lend itself to sweeter, more dessert-y spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Let us know what you discover!
