HUNGRY GIRL'S RANCH-TASTIC BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRIES WITH BACON



Hungry Girl's Ranch-Tastic Butternut Squash Fries With Bacon image

I actually made this without the bacon and it was lovely... another thing you could do finely is chop the bacon and sprinkle it on the sour cream, then dip the fries in.

Provided by SashasMommy

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup fat free sour cream
1/2 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix
1 butternut squash (about 2 pounds, large enough to yield 20 oz. once peeled & sliced)
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
4 slices turkey bacon
chopped scallion (optional)

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!

Tips:

  • For crispier fries, use a large skillet and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't flip the fries too often, as this will prevent them from getting crispy.
  • If you want your fries to be extra crispy, roast them in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  • To make sure your fries are cooked through, insert a fork into the center of the thickest fry. If it comes out clean, the fries are done.
  • Season your fries with your favorite herbs and spices for a flavorful twist.
  • Serve your fries with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash home fries are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that the whole family will love.
