<br>HG's Garlic-Parm Sweet Faux-tato Fries
<br>
<br>See Ya Later, Sweet Potater!  
<br>The world is filled with delicious yet fattening items like Parmesan-coated sweet potato fries. Luckily, the HG world is crammed with just as many guilt-free swaps! Whip up our latest recipe makeover now, and thank us later...
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
<br>1 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
<br>1/4 tsp. ranch dressing/dip seasoning mix
<br>Dash chili powder
<br>One 2-lb. or half of a 4-lb. butternut squash (20 oz. once peeled and sliced; click for tips!)
<br>1/8 tsp. coarse salt, or more to taste
<br>2 tsp. minced garlic
<br>1 tsp. olive oil
<br>1/2 tsp. garlic powder
<br>1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping 
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
<br>
<br>To make the dipping sauce, in a medium bowl, stir cheese wedge until smooth. Add sour cream, ranch seasoning, chili powder, and 2 tbsp. water. Whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
<br>
<br>Peel squash and slice off the ends. Cut in half widthwise, just above the round section. Cut the round piece in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
<br>
<br>Cut squash into French-fry-shaped spears. Thoroughly pat dry. Lay spears on the sheets and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 20 minutes.
<br>
<br>Flip fries and cook until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 15 minutes.
<br>
<br>Carefully transfer fries to a large bowl. Top with minced garlic, olive oil, and garlic powder. Using two forks or spoons, gently toss to coat.
<br>
<br>Return fries to the sheets. Bake until minced garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
<br>
<br>Sprinkle with Parm-style topping, and serve with dipping sauce!
