Ingredients
1 Medium Butternut Squash yielding approx 20 oz flesh1/8 tsp Kosher salt 1 tsp cooking oil (safflower has a suitably high smoke point)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
1) Cut ends off squash, and cut in two breadth-wise. Peel squash and cut pieces in half lengthwise. Squash has now been quartered.
2) Scoop out seeds which can be roasted and eaten separately.
3) Cut squash into French fry shapes. I have a V-Mandoline with a set of blades well suited to the job, but others people might use a French fry cutter, or approximate with a chef's knife. Pat pieces dry with paper towel.
4) Place slices in bowl and lightly spray with oil and sprinkle on salt (or preferred seasoning). Toss squash to distribute seasoning evenly.
5) Spray cookie sheet (or two if needed) with oil then place fries on it (them) in a single layer.
4) Bake for approx. 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cooking time should be adjusted for the thickness of the fries which are done when crispy and slightly brown at the edges.

Quite tasty and another "keeper." Time and timing was tough the first time. Next time will cut into steak fry size to try to avoid the ones with burned ends and still -soft middle sections. (like me!)
Did 1/2 with Mrs. Dash (no-salt) sprinkled on and 1/2 with Chili Powder. Both tasty. - 12/9/15
