Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Select butternut squash that are firm and heavy for their size with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with bruises or soft spots.
  • Cut the squash into even-sized fries: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for fries that are about 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
  • Toss the fries with oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up in the oven. Be sure to use enough oil to coat the fries evenly, but not so much that they're greasy.
  • Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help them cook evenly. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the fries will steam instead of roast.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Flip the fries halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fries so that they don't break.
  • Serve the fries immediately: Butternut squash fries are best served hot and crispy. You can sprinkle them with additional salt, pepper, or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Butternut squash fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or main course.
