Delicata Squash Fries with Awesome Sauce
I was surprised when most of the kids really enjoyed this. I was afraid of the awesome sauce, but when I tried it with the squash, I thought it paired well. By itself, I thought the sauce strange. Isla loved the sauce, with or without the squash. I like that you don't have to peel this squash, the skin was tender enough to eat. I did peel off some of the bumps. Ingredients : 3-4 medium delicata squash (2 pounds) 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper For the awesome sauce / dip 1/2 cup sour cream or crème fraîche 2 tablespoons hot sauce (we used a Mexican hot sauce) 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1/4 garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon dried dill Instructions: Preheat the oven to 450. Wash the squash. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice into half-moons, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Place slices in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake squash on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes, until slightly browned and tender
