Bake Tastic Butternut Squash Fries 20 Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Use a sharp knife to carefully cut away the peel from the squash. Cut the squash into sticks like French fries. Arrange squash pieces on a baking sheet and season with salt.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, turning the fries over halfway through baking. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and become crispy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the squash in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and chili powder. Toss the squash until evenly coated, then transfer to the lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake until brown along the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º F (200º C).
• On a cutting board, halve the squash vertically. Scoop out the seeds, and peel the squash.
• Cut the squash into ½-inch (12 mm) half moons, then cut into ¼-inch (6 mm) fries or wedges.
• In a bowl, toss the fries with oil, salt, and pepper, then transfer to a baking tray.
• Bake for 20-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream with ranch mix and stir thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Slice ends off squash, and then cut it in half widthwise. Peel squash carefully with a vegetable peeler or knife. Cut the round bottom piece in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
• Using a crinkle cutter or knife, carefully cut squash into spears/French-fry shapes. (For exact nutritionals, weigh spears and use 20 oz.) Pat firmly with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Sprinkle evenly with salt.
• Lay spears on a layer of paper towels, and let stand for at least 5 minutes, to allow salt to draw out excess moisture. Pat with paper towels.
• Spray a broiler pan, a baking rack placed over a baking sheet, or a baking sheet with nonstick spray, and lay spears flat on it. (Use two pieces of bakeware, if needed.).
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully flip fries, and bake for about 20 minutes longer, until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
• Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Cook bacon until crispy, and set aside to cool. Then cut each slice in half widthwise, and cut each half into very thin strips lengthwise.
• Mix bacon strips with fries and drizzle or serve with ranch mixture. If you like, sprinkle with scallions, as well. Eat up!
