Butternut squash is a very multifaceted vegetable of autum and winter. I like it for several reasons, it's healthy, tasty and I love the vibrant colour, really lifts me up!. I make stews, soups, and french fries with it, Yes! you got it right, french fries. They are low carb, healthy and ultra delicious. To make them even tastier, I have added my own personal twist and used parmesan cheese.
In addition to all the information regarding these tasty baked fries. I want to let you know that you don't have to be a fan of butternut squash to like them because soon they will win your heart. They are ready in a jiffy i.e. if you have mastered the art of cutting match sticks out of a butternut squash.
I sometimes cut out the sticks of 3 or four butternut squashes, place them in bags and refrigerate. When ever I need to make the fries I take out a packet place the sticks on a baking tray and then toss with olive oil, seasoning and cheese, easy isn't it? I haven't tried freezing the chips yet because I am afraid that they might turn soggy when baked after freezing.
