These were a bit strange to get used to, only because my brain thought sweet potato when I saw them, but my mouth said squash when I ate one! Once I got past that, I really enjoyed them. I usually only make pureed butternut squash, so this was a nice change.
My husband really liked them, but unfortunately my children were not fooled. They know a squash when they taste it, even if it looks like a fry! Oh well. Some day they'll eat their veggies :o)
Thanks for a fun and different squash recipe!

Very good. Some were not crisp, but I guess that's why it's called squash. Good alternative to regular fries.
