Ingredients

1 Butternut Squash
1 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Almond Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
2 Eggs
1 tbsp. Water
1 batch Garlic Basil Aioli

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and spray the rack with non-stick spray.
In a shallow bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, almond flour, and seasonings. Whisk until combined and set it aside.
In a separate shallow bowl, combine the two eggs and water together. Whisk until smooth and combined and set it aside.
Take the whole squash and place it into the microwave for 2 minutes to soften the outside rind. Remove and let cool a few minutes.
With a very sharp knife, slice off each end then slice in half. Use the half that contains no seeds to create the fries. Save the other half and roast or prepare for other recipes.
Use the knife to slice off the outside rind of the squash (cut the skin off like you would a watermelon).
Slice 1/4 inch thick pieces of squash until all of the squash is sliced. Take each slice and cut them into 1/4 inch thick strips to create the fry shape. See video or photos above as a reference.
Take each piece of butternut squash and coat in the egg mixture. Then coat in the almond flour and parmesan cheese mixture until the squash is coated.
Place the squash onto the wire rack and repeat the steps until all the squash fries are coated. Spray the top of the fries with non-stick spray (helps with browning).
Roast the butternut squash fries in the oven for 30 minutes or until lightly golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven when fully cooked and remove them from the wire rack within 5 minutes of taking the fries out of the oven. If they sit on the rack they may stick when they cool.
Add them to a platter and serve with the homemade garlic basil aioli for dipping and enjoy.

Notes

Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
