Ingredients
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • Juice from ½ of a lime
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled
  • Salt to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  2. Slice the peeled butternut squash into thin sticks about 3/8 inch wide.
  3. Place the butternut squash sticks in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch on top, and toss well to coat the sticks evenly.
  4. Add the oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the butternut squash sticks and toss well to coat the sticks evenly.
  5. Arrange the butternut squash sticks in a single layer on a large parchment paper lined baking sheet. Do not crowd them or let them touch. Use a second pan if you need it.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping once after 15 minutes, until the centers are soft and the surfaces are browned and crisp.
  7. Add all of the chipotle dipping sauce ingredients to a food processor.
  8. Process until creamy and smooth.
  9. Serve the warm butternut squash fries with the chipotle dipping sauce. Refrigerate any leftover sauce in an airtight container.
