Crinkle Cut Butternut Squash Fries Recipe

Today I'm sharing a simple recipe that's been a staple in our house for some time now - crinkle cut butternut squash fries.  I first discovered these earlier in the year when our local supermarket started selling fresh ready-cut butternut squash fries. They were quick and easy to cook and a big hit with the kids, but it occurred to me that it would be much cheaper and just as easy to make them myself. I was absolutely right - for less money I could get a lot more fries from one whole butternut squash than from in a pack of ready-cut ones and they're fresher too - win win!

Sprinkle with vinegar and seas salt (optional) and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
