Butternut Squash Fries
- 1 butternut squash large
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- chili powder
- 1 dash cayenne optional
- salt
- black pepper
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Use a vegetable peeler to carefully peel the rind from the squash. Keep peeling until all the little green lines have disappeared.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a metal spoon to scoop out the seeds and all that other goopy stuff.
- Now, cut the neck off of the squash and cut large wedges, as equal in size as possible.
- You can do the same with the "bowls" of the squash or you can save those for another recipe. Stuffed butternut squash, anyone?
- Toss your wedges and spices into a large bowl that has a tight-fitting lid.
- Secure the lid and shake the wedges around until they are all well-coated.
- Place in a single layer on a large, lightly-oiled baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the fries over, and bake another 10-15 minutes, until outside is crisp and inside is soft.
