It is the season of squash! These are so many uses for this awesome vegetable, but one of my favorites are these shoestring french fries. I make these every year in the Fall… almost never have the chance to take a photo because I want to gobble them all up! These butternut squash french fries are super kid friendly - taste just like french fries but much healthier! And your kids will love them, really! I can’t get enough when I make them. Hope you enjoy them just as much - perfect for snack or as a side dish at dinner! (these are the dipping cups I used, so cute!)
