Herb roasted butternut squash fries
6
To ensure even cooking, cut the vegetables so all pieces are uniform in size. This recipe also works well with sweet potatoes or acorn squash.
- Olive oil spray, 1 x two-second spray(s)
- Butternut squash, raw, 4 cup(s), cubes, from 1 medium squash (about 2 lbs)
- Thyme, fresh, 1 tbsp(s), chopped
- Rosemary, fresh, 1 tbsp(s), chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp(s)
- Salt, ½ tsp(s)
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Peel the skin from butternut squash. Cut the squash into even sticks, about ½-inch wide and 3 inches long.
In a medium bowl, combine the squash, thyme, rosemary, olive oil and salt. Mix until the squash is evenly coated.
Spread the squash onto the baking sheet, place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove baking sheet and shake to loosen the squash. Place the sheet back in the oven and continue to roast for another 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
TIP: You can also cook the butternut fries in an air fryer. Once coated with the oil and herb mix, spread the fries into the air fryer basket and set to 350°F for about 20 minutes.
