If you saw my recipe for the Black Bean and Quinoa Burgers from last week, then you’re going to love this recipe for Butternut Squash Fries! We all love a good burger and fries, and these recipes remove any guilt!
Butternut squash is high in nutrients including vitamins A and C, potassium and magnesium. Butternut squash makes an excellent alternative to potatoes and can be used in a variety of recipes. With garlic powder and just a dash of cayenne, these delicious fries have a savory, spicy kick!
