Ingredients

	3 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
	1 pound(s) uncooked butternut squash, peeled, seeded, long “neck” cut into sixteen 3/4-inch-thick sticks*
	1 tsp table salt, or to taste
	1/2 tsp chili powder, or to taste (optional)

 

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  
• Arrange squash fries on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and chili powder; liberally coat with cooking spray.
  
• Roast, turning once, until desired crispness, about 14 to 18 minutes. Yields 4 fries per serving.

 

Notes

• *Start with a large squash. You will end up using about 1 lb of squash and have the “bulb” of the squash left over.
  
  Any hard winter squash will work in this recipe.
