Description

Make butternut squash fries in the air fryer with garlic, black pepper, and five-spice powder for a sweet-spicy side dish with fewer carbs than regular fries.

Ingredients

1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into "fries"
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Place cut squash into a large bowl. Add oil, five-spice powder, garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and place into the air fryer basket.
3 Cook in the preheated air fryer, shaking every 5 minutes, until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes total. Remove fries and season with additional sea salt.
