Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Butternut Squash Fries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and give a baking sheet a light drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, toss together your butternut squash strips with a splash of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Make sure every piece of squash is beautifully coated in those delicious seasonings.
Step 4
Once your squash is ready, spread it out in a single layer on the greased baking sheet, allowing each piece some breathing room.
Step 5
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the squash bake for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Step 6
Keep an eye on it, and remember to flip the pieces halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop that lovely golden-brown color.
Step 7
When the squash is tender and perfectly caramelized, it’s ready to be enjoyed! This dish not only fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma but also makes for a nutritious and tasty addition to any meal.
