Baked Butternut Squash Fries Recipe

Ingredients

  • One large butternut squash cut into 1/2" sticks
  • 1 Tbsp avocado coconut, or virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 f. degrees.
  • Place the butternut squash sticks into a large bowl.
  • Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with garlic, paprika, thyme and salt. Evenly coat the butternut squash sticks with the oil and seasoning.
  • Place the fries evenly in a single layer on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or foil.
  • Be sure not to over-crowd the pan, because that will create too much steam, which is often the reason the fries come out soggy when baked.
  • This is the reason I use two baking sheets instead of one - being super careful to give each fry the space it deserves.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, until tender inside and crispy outside.
