Delicata Squash Fries

It's fall so that means it's officially squash season! I have worked with all types of squash... butternut, spaghetti, acorn squash... but delicata squash is one of my favorites. I love to make this dish as a side that can accompany a grilled chicken or whatever protein you desire. I love to dip them in ketchup or ranch but these "fries" are also delish on their own!

Ingredients:

2 Delicata Squash

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.  With a sharp knife cut squash in half and remove the seeds.  Slice the squash into 1/4″ pieces.

Seeded and sliced delicata squash

Place squash in a large mixing bowl and toss with coconut oil and salt and pepper to coat.

Place coated squash on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes, turning all the squash halfway through baking.  Once the squash is browned and crispy, remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt.  Serve immediately.

Hot out of the oven.
