butternut french fries?

ok so i have another thing i can't stop eating...roasted butternut squash with ketchup. how gross does that sound?? but for real - it tastes like french fries. my husband says i'm crazy - that i must forget what french fries taste like. maybe i do...it's been 2.5 years...BUT i swear that my new discovery is at least similar and it makes me excited to eat my veggies!

preheat oven to 450. peel the squash and chop off the ends...chop it up like home fries or slice it like steak fries...whatever fry you want to simulate...spray your pan...spray your "fries" with pam or spray butter for a totally fat-free vegetable. if you want to coat them in olive oil, go for it but i like to keep the fat out of my veggie recipes so i can use the fat for something else - like cream in my coffee. put a little salt on them and bake for about 20 minutes...after 20 mins, flip 'em around....bake for 10 more mins or until they start to get crispy or "hard" on the outside like a french fry. grab your ketchup (sugar-free is what i use) and fuckin eat. AWESOME.
