    Butternut baked fries are the BEST. I put them in a baggie with olive oil, garlic, pepper, and chipole peppers, toss, put on baking sheet 400 degrees for 25 minutes and enjoy them!! - 10/14/08

    Excellent…cooked them today! Lately, I've had a craving for regular fries. Butternut squash and sweet potato fries are a must have. THANKS! - 8/31/10

    i used cubes of squash already cut up - mixed in a baggie with 1 T olive oil - baked at 400 and turned them every 10-20 minutes. I let them cook for almost an hour and they carmelized - turned the heat down to 350 as they were getting too charred. Took a long time but tasty. - 2/17/12

    These were wonderful! I baked at 400 for about 20 minutes and turned broiler on low for the last 10 minutes. Be sure to cut the squash like a shoestring fry. The thinner the crisper they'll be. - 7/13/09

    Oh my goodness the flavor is great! I semi-froze them before baking thinking that would do something good to them but I think it just slowed the cook time down. I really do feel as indulged as if I had ate McD's. There's just something so savory and complex about the flavor. Good job! - 3/29/11

    This is on my short list of things to replace potatoes. I loved them. My family loved them and my niece couldn't tell the difference in them and regular fries. - 8/15/12

    Everybody who tried them loved them and they even picked up the squash at the store so I could make it again. - 6/30/12

    This recipe was so good! I will definitely make this again!!! Thanks for posting this recipe. I was trying to find a new way to prepare butternut squash. I added Badia seasoning, olive oil, and a lil Splenda to them and shook them in a Ziploc bag and bake them as indicated. DELICIOUS!!! - 4/11/12

    I love butternut squash fries. Have not tried with the ketchup yet, but planning to do that today. After spraying with olive oil, I add a little red pepper to mine. These squash fries with my Morningstar Farms Meatless Buffalo wings are my favorite meal. - 1/25/12

    These are sooo yummie! My oven cooks really hot, and I might have cook them a little too long, BUT it was a good too long, cause they were crispy and tasted wonderful! I will be adding these to my weekly menu! Thanks a bunch! - 12/11/10

    Thanks for the recipe! Mine turned out really soggy, but they tasted great and my kids want me to try it again to see if I can get them crispy! - 12/2/10

    Excellent! I made some Butternut Squash soup the other night and had a lot of leftover squash. I cubed it and put it in the fridge to use later, when I figured out how! So my fries were oddly shaped, but delicious! Excellent idea! - 11/6/10

    These are so good. I fixed them for the Family and they just loved them. Now they only want butternut fries and not really potato fries. - 12/16/19

    Tasted them and threw them straight away. If you make them following the directions they are going to be soft, not firm at all and disgusting. I picked one up and it just fell apart. - 4/27/17
