For extra crispiness, soak the butternut squash fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. Pat them completely dry before spraying with oil and seasoning. Experiment with different herbs and spices! A pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of garlic powder can add a delicious depth of flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture. These fries are delicious on their own or as a side dish with your favorite protein.
