How to bake delicata squash "healthy fries"

Buy a delicata squash. They are rich in potassium, iron, and vitamins A & C. Found late summer to fall.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

Slice as thinly as possible.

Toss in a bowl with a light coating of olive oil. Use 1 tablespoon or less.

Add a sprinkle of salt. Add any other spices you fancy--garlic, paprika, curry powder, pepper or cinnamon are all good choices.

Stir to coat.

Place a thin layer of coated slices on a baking sheet or in a baking pan. You may have to split your slices into two batches.

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until they start to brown.

Scoop out with a spatula. Serve warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
