Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper
  • Place the butternut squash sticks into a large bowl and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add the corn starch on top and use your hands to coat the butternut squash completely. Transfer the butternut squash to a colander and shake to remove excess cornstarch.
  • Return the butternut squash fries to the bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika and thyme. Toss to combine evenly.
  • Transfer the fries in a single layer to the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and crisp. Allow 5-10 minutes to cool. Then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It's best to reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes or in a toaster to crisp them up again.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can switch the corn starch to flour and feel free to switch around the herbs.
