Side Dish

Butternut squash fries with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar have become a popular alternative to traditional potato fries. This sweet and savory twist on a classic side dish has its roots in the farm-to-table movement, with chefs and home cooks alike experimenting with different ways to prepare and enjoy butternut squash. The dish has gained traction in regions known for their farm-fresh produce, such as the Pacific Northwest and New England. The key to perfecting this dish lies in achieving the ideal balance of sweetness from the cinnamon and sugar, while still allowing the natural flavors of the butternut squash to shine through. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate a hint of nutmeg or a drizzle of honey for added depth of flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in farm-to-table restaurants that prioritize locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Whether served as a side dish or a standalone snack, butternut squash fries with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar offer a delightful blend of comforting flavors and wholesome goodness.
