What’s your take on squash? Love it, or leave it? Personally, Rachel and I are huge squash fans and you can even tell by the slightly orange tint of our hands due to beta-carotene overload. But if you think that stops us from enjoying squash, you got another thing comin’.
Although most squash is sweet, it pairs well with savory flavors, especially sweet n’ spicy, like in these b-nut fries 😉
I was originally going to use sweet potatoes, but I was like heck, lets give squash the spotlight it deserves. These fries are coated in a thick sweet chili garlic sauce that goes perfectly with the sweetness of the squash.
I created the sauce using garlic, maple syrup, coconut aminos, red pepper flakes, water and last but not least, Fire Cider’s apple cider vinegar & spice tonic. If you’ve have never heard of Fire Cider, it’s about time you do! I think we all know now about the powerful health benefits of adding apple cider vinegar to your daily diet, but Fire Cider adds even more flavor and pizazz! You can drink it straight, or use it in cooking/baking like we do!
Seriously guys, these b-nut squash fries are where it’s at! Tangy, slightly sweet with a lil’ heat 🙂
