Butternut squash french fries are very healthy and delicious. A perfect healthy snack recipe for kids and adults. They are packed with Vitamin A and Vitamin C!

If you are like me and many other people, you have a huge love for French fries, so this is the perfect healthy option for french fries. 

​

Ingredients 

1 butternut squash 

​

Directions

1) Take a butternut squash that has a long neck. Wash it thoroughly and then dry it.

2) Cut off the butternut squash at the base of the neck. Wrap up the bottom part of the squash and refrigerate it for a future recipe

3) Cut of the top part of the neck and discard.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees

4) Peel the skin of the butternut squash and cut it into long strips. Place them in a bowl and add 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.  Add more if the strips are not fully coated.  I used a small butternut squash which only needed 2 tsp

5) Add 2 tsp of freshly chopped tarragon and 1 tsp of salt.  Mix well and then transfer to baking sheet.  Spread it out evenly

6) Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they turn crispy.  Remove from the oven, let them cool & enjoy! 

APPLE SANDWICHES WITH OATS, PEANUT BUTTER, AND RAISINS

There are charming little apple sandwiches. I frequently make these sandwiches for an afternoon snack and they fill me up. Instead of peanut butter, you might try almond butter or pumpkin-sunflower-flax seed butter, and the raisins may be swapped for dried cranberries, chopped dates, and other dried fruits. I like the simplicity and texture of lightly toasted oats, but granola is an option, as are toppings like chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chia seeds.
