Who doesn’t love fries??? I know I certainly do! And I love butternut squash, so this recipe is a win-win for me, its so good. This is a great side to almost any meal, although we have a great suggestion to pair it with below. Its also one of the earliest finger foods that you can start your baby on!
Ingredients:
- butternut squash
- seasoning of choice, such as salt, season-all, or my personal favorite, Tony Chachere’s
Steps:
- Peel the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler.
- Slice the squash into fry form. For the bulb part, make sure to scoop out the seeds.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper and lay the squash pieces as a single layer.
- If your baby is very young (at least, less than 8 months), set aside a bit of the unseasoned butternut squash, and season the rest for your family.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, turning the fries over at the halfway point.
Timing: Without seasoning, this can be introduced as early as 6 months.
Meal Suggestions: Consider pairing with salmon, which is so easy to make! Simply sprinkle the salmon with the seasoning of your choice, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Timing of fish introduction varies, but I started Little Frances on salmon at 9 months. Click HERE to gather more information to make your decision.
Little Frances loves these two together!
