Delicata Squash Fries (Oven-Baked)
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 20-30 min
- Servings: 2-3
- Preparation Time: 2
- Approx. 2 delicata squashes
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Wash the squash and cut it in half lengthways.
- Remove all the seeds and filaments and cut the squash, without peeling it, in the shape of fries.
- Place the fries on a single layer in a glass dish (ex: 9x13 pyrex) OR on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add oil and salt, to taste (and you can add any other herb or spice you want). Mix everything well.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven preheated to 180 ° C (350 ° F) for 20 to 30 minutes, until the fries are tender (you can also heat at 450F but cooking will be faster and must be checked frequently after 15 min).
- Bring the oven to broil and cook on the top rack for a few minutes (2-5 min), just enough to get the fries grilled a bit more, but remove before they start to turn too dark in colour.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
FEATURING: Delicata squash.
A nice, simple, healthier and delicious recipe! You can add 1 tsp. fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional). I like to eat these fries with sauteed kale with onions and tomatoes and a side of salad (lettuce or arugula with chopped tomatoes) and Berthe's Secret Mustard Dressing (http://www.bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Berthe%27s-Secret-Mustard-Vinaigrette/80591/)!
