A simple and healthy recipe featuring crispy delicata squash fries paired with a creamy, garlicky aioli for dipping. Perfect for cozy nights or as a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–2 medium delicata squashes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Wash the delicata squash thoroughly. Slice off the ends and cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and cut the halves into ½-inch thick slices.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. While the squash is baking, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve the fries warm with the garlic aioli on the side for dipping.

Notes

[‘Choose firm delicata squash with bright yellow skin and minimal green stripes.’, ‘Space out the slices on the baking sheet to ensure they crisp up instead of steaming.’, ‘Flip the fries halfway through baking for even browning.’, ‘The garlic aioli can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.’, ‘Experiment with spices like chili flakes or cumin for added flavor.’]
