Spicy cajun french fries made with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt.

Servings

1 butternut squash
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp paprika
0.12 tsp ground cayenne (red pepper) , or to taste
0.12 tsp garlic powder
0.12 tsp onion powder
1 pinch salt

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2 Carefully cut off both ends of the squash. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the rind from the squash until you've peeled away the pale orange outside layers. Discard the rind.
3 Cut the squash in half lengthwise. With a large spoon, scrape out the seeds and discard them. Cut 8 ounces (about 2 cups) of 4-inch by 1/2-inch sticks (refrigerate the remaining squash for another recipe).
4 Place the squash sticks in a medium mixing bowl. Add the oil, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss to coat.
5 Transfer the squash to a baking sheet so the sticks are in a single layer and do not touch. Bake, turning the squash every 5 minutes, for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the outsides are crisp and the insides are tender when tested with a fork. Serve immediately.

If you aren't a fan of spicy food, you may want to decrease the amount of cayenne pepper in this recipe.
