Sunday night in our house in we have “grill night” that means steak and French fries, burgers and French fries or oven roasted potatoes. While I love French fries I really do not like the calories or all of the fat in there. I have substituted sweet potato fries in the past and they are very good. Actually love them but while I am clean eating and low carbing for a while I want to stay away from them. I have a found a great substitution for potato fries cravings- Butternut squash fries.
Yes you heard that right butternut squash. I found about butternut squash fries from Hungry Girl I don’t even like butternut squash, but I absolutely loved these. One cup of butternut squash is 63 calories.
I am lazy so I don’t buy a whole squash my local supermarket sells they sliced up in chucks or a butternut squash already peeled.
Here is how I make them
I will cut them into French fry shapes.

I will mist them with some olive oil and add a little bit of garlic salt
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, turning the fries over halfway through baking. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and become crispy.
