Whatever potatoes and sweet potatoes can do, squash can do too. And in bright orange as well! Somehow everything tastes better and more crispy deep-fried. However, these fries are just as delicious oven-baked. Especially when you have a trick or two up your sleeve to prevent them going mushy in the oven. These fries make a tasty, healthy snack as well as a surprising side dish.
