Butternut Squash Fries
If you saw my recipe for the Black Bean and Quinoa Burgers from last week, then you’re going to love this recipe for Butternut Squash Fries! We all love a good burger and fries, and these recipes remove any guilt!
Butternut squash is high in nutrients including vitamins A and C, potassium and magnesium. Butternut squash makes an excellent alternative to potatoes and can be used in a variety of recipes. With garlic powder and just a dash of cayenne, these delicious fries have a savory, spicy kick!
INGREDIENTS:
1 large Butternut Squash
¼ cup of Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Cut the ends off the squash, peel the skin, cut the squash in half, de-seed, then cut into “fry” sticks.
3. Place fries in a mixing bowl and coat with oil and seasonings.
4. On a greased baking sheet (or on parchment paper), arrange fries in a single layer.
5. Roast for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crisp.

The chips cannot be healthy because you are cooking at high temps with olive oil. You should use coconut oil or grass fed lard.
I always wonder about that when recipes specify olive oil. I use olive oil mainly for salad dressing and would use avocado oil or melted coconut oil for this recipe, since they have a higher smoke point. (It’s hard to find grass fed lard here and costs a fortune when you do find it.)

Olive oil is used in Mediterranean cooking with no issues as long as you are using pure olive oil.
Olive oil is also the best fat to improve genetic expression and reduce inflammation (avocado oil is great too)
Additionally, we should limit saturated fat to 10% or less of daily caloric intake for optimal health.
With that said, this recipe works with any type of organic minimally processed fat!
