This was really good and easier to make than I thought. Once I used a big
sharp knife to cut it into manageable hunks I used a potato peeler to peel off the outside skin. Keep peeling down to the orange flesh. I salted and baked as directed and it was very good. Way better than sweet potato fries that I hate. It's a core food and it's 1 point per cup for the flex plan. Lynne Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries! (Serving Size: 5oz. of squash cut into fries, calories: 65, fat: 0g, sodium: 6mg, carbs: 16.5, fiber: 4g, sugars: 3g, protein: 1.5g) Ingredients: 1/2 butternut squash kosher salt Directions: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and de-seed your butternut squash. If you're unfamiliar with handling these large items, you may have a little trouble at first. They're fairly easy to peel, but you'll need a sharp knife to cut them. Once your orange friend is peeled and sans seeds, slice it in half. Then cut it up into french fry shapes. We like to use a crinkle cutter to make authentic looking crinkle cut fries, but they'll work any way you slice 'em. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover lightly with kosher salt (regular salt works, too, but we prefer kosher salt). Place tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes or so, flipping halfway through baking process. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy. Serve with ketchup, or however else you enjoy fries or sweet potato fries! **We've been known to eat a huge 2-3 serving bowl of these for lunch...they're awesome, healthy and packed with fiber! |

Lynne, Your ingredient of 1/2 butternut squash is rather vague. Maybe an ounce or gram weight. Also how many of these fries in a 5 oz. serving? Andy |

Lynne, Your ingredient of 1/2 butternut squash is rather vague. Maybe an ounce or gram weight. Also how many of these fries in a 5 oz. serving? Andy Well it wasn't MY ingredient. Just a recipe I used that worked out well. I measured it the Weight Watcher way. 1 cup for 1 point. If one was on the core plan it is a core food and can be measured according to the plan. I just loped off the bulbest end, seeded it, skinned it, sliced it and baked it. I used Kosher flaked salt and I think it made it taste really good, but as the recipe said any salt will do. It made 2 one cup servings. I'll probably eat the other end tomorrow. Lynne |
