Ingredients
1 tbsp. peanut, olive, rice bran or any neutral-flavored oil
1 tsp. sriracha
1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into evenly-sized steak fries
salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Whisk together oil and sriracha in a large bowl. Transfer butternut squash fries to bowl and toss to coat. (It’s messy, but use your hands—it works best!) Pour fries onto a rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully flip fries over using tongs or a spatula. Sprinkle with additional salt and bake for 20 minutes more or until tender and browned on edges.
notes
If you’re not a fan of sriracha, you can use this same method with cinnamon, chipotle chili powder, Chinese 5 spice powder, smoked paprika, curry powder, or pumpkin pie spice. So many possibilities!
