This is a great alternative to deep-fried potatoes. These fries are slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and oven-baked for a nice roasted flavor. One more good thing about these fries is that they are only 1 point per serving on Weight Watchers!!!
Ingredients:
Olive oil cooking spray
1 lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded, long "neck" cut into sixteen 3/4 inch-thick sticks
1 tsp. table salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Preheat oven to 450. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange squash fries on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and chili powder; liberally coat with cooking spray.
Roast, turning once, until desired crispness, about 18 minutes.
NOTE: Start with a large squash. You will end up using about 1 lb of squash and have the bulb" of the squash left over.
We enjoyed the squash fries with Mahi-Mahi and sauteed spinach!
