So I read on here a recipe for home fries using butternut squash. I was like butternut what? So I ventured out to my open air market and grabbed one. I looked at it for a week and then, I took a plunge. For the record, delicious.

I baked them until slightly crispy with some cayenne and garlic salt! ummmmmmmmmmmm

Does anyone have a recipe? I just am so addicted!

    OMG I LOVE Butternut Squash! YUM! I put it in the microwave for 10 minutes in a bowl which has water in it (to keep it moist). Then take it out, peal it and enjoy! YUM!

    Have to add this to my bag of "Must Try" It sounds good right now but Im hungry still!

    P.S. You ever find that you buy so much more when your starving or hungry at the grocery store? I have a strict policy of not going to the store hungry now as it adds up and some of its junk as well!

    I like making the squash fries and dipping them in sugar free syrup...Mmmm almost like sweet potato fries, only less calories!

    I found this recipe one time for Thanksgiving. If you absolutely HAVE to have mashed potatoes - mix up 1/2 mashed ptatoes 1/2 butternut squash. Your guests will not even realize that you are helping them to cut calories and carbs!
