Butternut Squash Fries with Curry Mayo

These sweet healthy Butternut Squash Fries with Curry Mayo are perfect for a snack or side. They pair nicely with savory vegan curry mayo. 

Before I begin my post with the usual why you are going to love this recipe bit, I have to state the obvious…

Isn’t this shopping cart adorable? It’s like the butternut squash is a big ole baby being pushed in a stroller, right! Okay, some who I have told that to disagree. Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, I think it’s cute. I love great finds.

Now for the commercial version…

One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash. I have used it in salads, vegan quesadillas, and curry. Aside from tasting good, I love that it keeps for a long time. I usually have to keep an eye on my produce, and make sure that I am using it up before it spoils. Not the good ole butternut squash.

One of my favorite ways to eat it is to make Butternut Squash Fries with Curry Mayo. The curry mayo compliments the butternut squash perfectly.  They may not satisfy a French fry craving, but they are healthier and can be made in no time. Just make sure to have a sharp knife. They have a very thick skin!
