Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Butternut Squash Fries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). This high heat will help achieve that perfect crispiness! Next, grab a baking sheet and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Now, let’s prepare the star of the show: the butternut squash. Make sure to blot any moisture from the fries using paper towels; this little step will help them roast beautifully. Place the dried butternut squash fries on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out evenly. It’s time to season! Sprinkle a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and the Cajun seasoning over the fries. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking for that perfect kick! Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and give them a gentle turn halfway through to ensure they brown evenly. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re lightly browned and tender. Enjoy your flavorful Cajun butternut squash fries as a delightful snack or a side dish!
