Butternut Squash Fries

We have TONS of Butternut Squash from our garden this summer...I’ve used it for fall decorations, made soup, risotto, served it as a side dish, etc and found another favorite squash recipe this week.  This recipe is probably the tastiest and quickest of them all.  If you like sweet potato fries, these sweet squash fries won’t disappoint! Below is a Tangy Peanut Dipping sauce to pair with the squash.  Enjoy!
