Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi All; Going to attempt squash fries for dinner. I don't have a baking stone. Can I cook them on a cookie sheet with some parchment paper with good results? Thanks, Kim 1 month dairy-free SCD 3 yo ASD, 2 yo NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parchment would work. Carol F. Toronto, celiac, SCD 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thanks Carol. Aluminum is Evil in my house so I covered the baking pan with parchment. Think I cut the squash too thin - were burnt and soggy. Oh well, will try again. Kim 1 month dairy-free SCD 3 yo ASD, 2 yo NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I cut the squash too thin - were burnt and soggy. Oh well, will try again. I also use parchment over my metal pans b/cause of metal issues- I make the squash fries at a lower temp than called for to fully cook then turn up the heat the last few minutes to crisp them up more. They still don't really get crispy crispy like a homemade potato french fry. I put lots of salt on mine and my son eats them up. I'm not a big fan myself, still going through potato and regular ketchup withdrawal I guess... Janet, mom to Cody- SCD since 4-17-06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi Kim! sorry your fries didn't turn out...when i tried the first few times, like you, on parchment [for the same reason ], they were soggy. i now make them in my huge non-stick fry pan on top of the stove, on fairly low heat, uncovered. I usually cut a butternut squash into semi-circles about 1/8th of an inch thick, toss with olive oil & pepper. this may not be a good option for you, since you have a family to feed, but for sure try tossing them with the olive oil first...very yummy. BTW, they don't freeze well, but you can reheat them on top of the stove in a bit of oil. Brady calls them 'special fries'.
