Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
40 minutes
Ingredients:
12 oz. raw butternut squash, peeled and cut into fry-shaped spears
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1 dash black pepper
2 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. light sour cream
1 tbsp. scallions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Place squash on the baking sheet, and top with seasonings. Arrange squash in an even layer.
Bake until tender on the inside and lightly crisped on the outside, 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Meanwhile, cook bacon until crispy, either in a skillet over medium heat or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (See package for cook time.) Chop or crumble bacon.
Arrange squash in the center of the baking sheet. Top with cheese and bacon. Bake until cheese has melted, about 3 minutes.
Top with sour cream and scallions.

Crinkle Cutter
PAUSE! You might think you don't need a crinkle cutter. You might think this would be harder to use on squash and potatoes than a regular knife. We're here to tell you that a) you do need this and b) it actually makes cutting tough veggies easier. Chalk it up to pressing straight down on the handle vs. using a knife with the blade out in front of your hand like usual—that's just simple physics! Plus, zigzag-cut baked fries are just more fun. This Amazon's Choice find has a sturdy and comfortable handle and only costs $6...Chew on this:
