Featured Recipe of The Week: Butternut Squash Fries
February 25, 2011 in 1 Point, Low Point Ideas, Recipes, Sides, Snacks
This is quite possibly one of the easiest “fry” recipes you will ever make. I LOVE making Butternut Squash fries when I want something different and I want to save my points+ to enjoy a delicious burger. Serve these as a side or have them a an afternoon snack when you want something salty like chips. Either way…..try them and tell us what you think!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small butternut squash
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Sea Salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel and seed butternut squash. Cut into 1/4 inch “fry” shapes.
2. Toss with Olive Oil and sea salt. Arrange on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
3. Bake at 450 for 25 minutes or until lightly browned, flipping half way through.
Makes 3 servings, 1 point+ each (the ENTIRE recipe is 3 points+ for the oil only as Butternut Squash is FREE!)
Think OUTSIDE the box when it comes to flavoring your veggies & salads. Spritz lemon juice over salad,s steamed, grilled or sautéed green vegetables of any kind: broccoli, snap peas, fresh spinach, asparagus, green beans, zucchini. For even brighter flavor, grate the rind of half a lemon using a microplane or zester, and add that to the dish. Season with garlic salt or sea salt and pepper, then, dig in!
