Pumpkin fries, butternut squash fries - healthy fries!

Yum yum, french fries. Yum yum, pumpkin fries. Yum yum, butternut squash fries.

For Food In Colors-Orange in the month of February, I am going to show you a super-healthy snack which cuts down on the carbo in potatoes and fats in deep frying. How about some Baked Butternut Squash Fries?

Baked Butternut Squash/Pumpkin Fries
Ingredients: Butternut squash/pumpkin sliced uniformly (the thicker you slice, the longer it takes to bake), salt and fresh ground pepper, pinch of cumin and fennel seeds, some olive oil and butter



Directions:
1. Lay the sliced butternut squash/pumpkin on a "lightly buttered" foil and toss evenly in salt, pepper, cumin and fennel seeds
2. Bake10-15mins in preheated oven ~180-200degC (Note: bake time depends on thickness of slices, so make sure the thickness is uniform so that the fries get cooked evenly)
3. Before serving, you can add a small cube of butter on the pumpkin fries for richer taste. It is optional, really!
