Hungry Girl's Butternut Squash Fries

To me, these were even better than sweet potato fries!

Ingredients:
1/2 butternut squash
kosher salt
any seasoning of your choice, optional

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and de-seed your butternut squash. Slice it in half. Then cut it up into french fry shapes. We like to use a crinkle cutter to make authentic looking crinkle cut fries, but they'll work any way you slice 'em. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover lightly with kosher salt (regular salt works, too, but we prefer kosher salt). Place tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes or so, flipping halfway through baking process. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy. Serve with ketchup, or however else you enjoy fries your sweet potato fries!
