Chinese Five-Spice Air Fryer Butternut Squash Fries image

These 'fries' made with Chinese five-spice powder are sweet and spicy, and they're a fiber-full, lower-carb alternative to French fries. Made in the air fryer, they're less messy and can cook up while the rest of your meal is in the making.

These fries are a great way to use up leftover butternut squash, but they're not my favorite. I prefer roasted butternut squash.

The fries were a bit dry. I think I'll add a little more olive oil next time.

I found the spice blend to be a bit overpowering. I think I'll use less of it next time.

The fries didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These fries are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try them with less sugar next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these fries were to make. I just tossed the butternut squash with the spices and olive oil, then popped them in the air fryer. They were done in less than 15 minutes!

These butternut squash fries were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious blend of spices. I loved the combination of sweet and savory flavors.
