Hg's Cheesy Good Chili Fries - Ww Points = 4
- 1 (2 lb) butternut squash (large enough to yield 20 ounces uncooked flesh)
- 1 (9 1/2 ounce) container Boca meatless chili (**) or 9 12 ounces of another low-fat vegetarian chili (**)
- 12 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 18 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- nonfat sour cream (optional)
- chopped scallion (optional)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Use a sharp knife to remove the ends of the squash.
- Cut squash in half widthwise (making it easier to manage) and then peel squash halves using a vegetable peeler or a knife.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise, and then scoop out all the seeds.
- Next, cut squash into french fry shapes (for best results, try to keep them even in size).
- Using a paper towel, pat squash pieces firmly to absorb any excess moisture.
- Place squash in a bowl, add a light mist of nonstick spray, and sprinkle with salt and cayenne pepper.
- Toss squash to evenly distribute salt and pepper, and then transfer to a large baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Use 2 pans if needed.
- Squash pieces should lie flat in the pan.
- Place pan(s) in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or so (longer for thick-cut fries, shorter for skinnier fries), flipping halfway through baking.
- Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy.
- Leaving the oven on, transfer fries to a large oven-safe plate.
- Prepare the chili as directed on the package, and then pour it over the fries.
- Sprinkle with cheese, and place the plate in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Carefully remove from the oven and, if you like, top with sour cream and scallions.
- Makes 2 enormous and amazingly delicious servings.
