These fries sounded soooo good, so I chopped up half a butternut squash, sprayed them with pan, but I did leave out the salt. I placed them in the oven and cooked for 15 min., stirred them around, then went back 10 minutes later and some of them were burnt, and the other’s weren’t very crispy. I would have to say that after tossing the burnt ones, the others were very good, but next time I will have to play with my oven temp, and try the suggestion of drying them off with a paper towel. I might even let them set in a warm oven when they are done, it might make them crisper?

This is a tricky thing, Rebecca…The fries are never quite as crisp as regular french fries, but what you can do to help alleviate some of the sogginess is pat dry them with paper towels first. It won’t eliminate the problem completely, but it will help a lot. Also, try cutting them into as thin sticks as you can.

I thought that the taste of these “fries” were wonderful, only despite the fact that they were cut into uniform sticks, they just didn’t crisp up at all. Is there a trick to this that I somehow missed?
