How To Make Delicata Squash Fries

5 from 2 votes
Have you ever made delicata squash fries? If not, you are in for a treat. Like a real addiction kind of treat. They taste somewhat like a sweeter potato chip when baked to the perfect crisp. A delicata squash is slightly less sweet than a butternut squash. With the addition of sea salt, it takes on it's own sweet & salty flavor once baked. A savory treat!

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 delicata squash
  • 2 tsp or small drizzle avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp of sea salt - more to taste
  • fresh ground pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450.
  2. Wash the outside of the squash really well as you'll be eating the peel.
  3. Cut off both ends of the squash.
  4. Cut the squash lengthwise down the middle, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 1/4" slices.
  5. Put the slices in a mixing bowl, drizzle on oil and sprinkle in salt & ground pepper. Mix it well with your hands.
  6. Pour the slices out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them out so they are all flat.
  7. Cook for about 25 minutes, flip over, and cook for about 15 more minutes until your desired crisp. Oven times vary though, so watch them closely towards the end.
