Delicata Squash Fries
It's delicata squash season again, and I am so here for it! I typically just deseed, slice, then roast my delicata but I had an idea to make them into fries and make them in my air fryer... and DANG they did not dissapoint. My {quite picky} brother tried one and asked if he could have them all! I am telling you, they're delicious! Plus they fit nearly all dietary restrictions, which is always a win!♥
P.S. these go perfect with my Spicy Paleo Chicken Tenders :-)
Ingredients:
1 delicata squash
Avocado oil spray
Garlic, salt, and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cut your delicata squash in half the long way
Deseed by scraping the guts/seeds out with a spoon, discard
Once deseeded, slice "fries" by cutting each half the long way into 1/2" thick fries (they should be as long as your delicata squash at this point)
Slice the long fries in half to make them into more typical fry-size
Spray with avocado oil (*see note below for sub)
Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder-- make sure they are evenly coated by stirring with your hands
Place in air fryer and air fry at 400 º F for 15 minutes, flipping/shaking about every 5 minutes to get evenly crisp (I had to work in batches as my air fryer does not fit them all unless they're piled on each other, but they won't get crispy this way!)
Enjoy!
*can use any oil you'd like- if you don't have spray, you can throw your delicata fries into a ziplock or bowl and shake/stir in the oil and spices until they're evenly coated!*should be able to make in the oven-- unsure on cooking time. Prepare the same way, cook at 425 º F flipping frequently until crispy on the outside and fork tender inside.
