Butternut Squash Fries Recipe

These Butternut Squash Fries are a cozy and nutritious twist on classic fries, perfect for Halloween parties, autumn dinners, or everyday snacking. Strips of fresh butternut squash are lightly tossed with olive oil, garlic, and paprika, then baked until tender inside and slightly crispy on the edges. Naturally sweet and savory, they’re a healthier alternative to potato fries while still being fun and comforting. Pair them with a spicy ketchup or creamy garlic dip for the ultimate fall treat.
