Healthier Butternut Squash Fries
Transform a butternut squash into a wholesome alternative to traditional chips. The squash strips are lightly coated with olive oil cooking spray and seasoned with dried parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. They are then baked until tender, creating a simple and satisfying side dish or lunch option that serves four people. This method offers a lighter take on a classic favourite.
Ingredients
- olive oil cooking spray (such as PAM®)
- 1 small butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into French fry-like strips
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ground black pepper to taste
Method
- Set your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Coat the squash strips with cooking spray, then place them in a bowl. Add the dried parsley, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper, tossing to combine. Spread the pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to turn them over. Continue baking for about 15 minutes more, until the centre is soft.
