I had a pretty small butternut squash (about 9 oz. seeded) and I decided to use it to make these "fries" ... I am SO glad I did!! I don't know why anyone would choose to eat grease-laden potato fries when this exists as an option. I tossed the squash "sticks" in kosher salt and a bit of chili powder, and baked for about 45 minutes. I didn't flip it, either, but it didn't seem to make any difference; they were FANTASTIC. Well worth the pain of cutting through a raw winter squash. Thanks for posting!

These are so incrediably good! And with ketchup they do indeed pass muster as "real fries"!
Even my oh so picky DH, who normally doesn't like squash much at all, was totally impressed with these! And the kidlet, age 9, LOVES them. Made these just as recipes says. Thanks for sharing this recipe

I just found this recipe and I had to try it. I have been working on eating healthier. I did toss the "fries" in about a tbsp of macademia nut oil before placing on a parchment lined pan. I did use the kosher salt. These were absolutely fabulous. These will definitely be my favorite way to eat butternut squash from now on and I need never eat greasy potato fries again. Thanks for posting.

I saw this one on Hungry girl and had been meaning to try it. Having 1/2 a squash leftover from Slow Roasted Vegetable Soup prompted me to try this. Pretty tasty and even my french-fry obsessed 7 year old (who is usually a french fry purist) enjoyed these!
