I’m relatively new to butternut squash too and just love it! I bake Butternut ‘fries’ on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. It made them crispier. You don’t have to spray the rack itself because there is no sticking.

[...] I’m fairly new to this amazing vegetable. I tried my first one a few years ago and fell in love. It has a sweet flesh similar to a sweet potato, but softer and less dense once cooked. You’ll probably laugh, but my favorite way to eat them is in fry form like this. [...]

Thank you for the video on how to cut the butternut squash. This is the first year that we grew them in our garden and I have about ten of them I need to use. Thanks!

Do you peel the squash before cutting? or just leave the outside there??

ummmm, yeah….. We went to Wendy’s today. I was good and had a plain baked potato that I dumped a small chilli onto, it was vvery good. BUT then my daughter didn’t want all of her fries…… I just have a big problem with throwing food away….
Yes, they were good :)

I finally got around to making these… THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!! I will never have a real french fry again (um, on second thought, I should probably take that back) BUT these are an awesome alternative
Thanks Roni!

Kat,

I HAVE noticed this as well. I believe the larger ones have more water in them an produce a more limp fry. I tend to cook them for less time to keep a crunch. I also sometimes experiment with the broiler a little.

Haven’t found the solution YET! :~)

Hm, I tried these the first time and the majority were crispy and awesome. I tried them a second time and they tasted great but were pretty limp (and like others, i do like my fries crispy). I’m pretty sure i did them the same way both times. Do you think it could be a difference in the squashes themselves? The first time I had a teeny organic one, the second time my only choice was a medium sized “regular” (i.e. not organic) one. I imagine a difference in moisture content and/ or age may have contributed? I wonder if GMO’d Butternuts’ (often bigger) fibers are less dense or get sort of stretched out a bit (to use a ‘technical’ term!)? Please let us know if you find a solution to this :)

Roni I love your site. You have helped me so much. I just want to say your fries look A LOT better then mine. I think I need new knives. They are in the oven right now. Can’t wait to try them!
