Description

These spiced butternut squash sticks are a delightful and healthy alternative to traditional fries. I've been making them for years, and they're always a hit! The combination of sweet butternut squash with the warmth of five-spice powder and a hint of garlic creates a truly unique flavor profile. They're perfect as a side dish or a satisfying snack. For a vegan option, ensure your five-spice powder doesn't contain any animal products. These are especially delicious in the autumn when butternut squash is in season. They are also great for parties or a casual get-together.
