Butternut Squash Fries
1 small butternut squash or just the neck from a large butternut squash
1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
sea salt
1. Line a baking sheet with paper towel. Cut the neck off of the butternut squash, then carefully peel the skin off using a sharp knife. If using the bottom half of the squash, scoop out and discard seeds (or feed them to your chickens if you're lucky enough to have a flock). Cut the squash into 1/4-inch strips, doing your best to keep the pieces the same size. Lay on the paper towel, sprinkle with salt and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
2. After squash has rested, pat dry with paper towels. Remove paper towel from baking sheet and arrange squash in a single layer on the sheet. Drizzle coconut oil over squash, then toss to coat. Place under the broiler on high about 6 inches away from the heating element. (Remember to leave your oven door ajar!)
3. Broil for about 5 minutes or until the squash starts to brown. With a large spatula, gently turn the fries over (be gentle or the pieces will break). Continue to broil another few minutes, then flip again. Broil some more and flip until the fries are crispy golden brown. Sprinkle again with salt. Serve.
