Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (2 lb) butternut squash (large enough to yield 20 ounces uncooked flesh)
• 1 (9 1/2 ounce) container boca meatless chili (**) or 9 1/2 ounces of another low-fat vegetarian chili (**)
• 1/2 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• nonfat sour cream (optional)
• chopped scallion (optional)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• 2 use a sharp knife to remove the ends of the squash. cut squash in half widthwise (making it easier to manage) and then peel squash halves using a vegetable peeler or a knife. cut squash in half lengthwise, and then scoop out all the seeds. next, cut squash into french fry shapes (for best results, try to keep them even in size). using a paper towel, pat squash pieces firmly to absorb any excess moisture. place squash in a bowl, add a light mist of nonstick spray, and sprinkle with salt and cayenne pepper. toss squash to evenly distribute salt and pepper, and then transfer to a large baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. use 2 pans if needed. squash pieces should lie flat in the pan.
• 3 place pan(s) in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or so (longer for thick-cut fries, shorter for skinnier fries), flipping halfway through baking. fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy.
• 4 leaving the oven on, transfer fries to a large oven-safe plate. prepare the chili as directed on the package, and then pour it over the fries. sprinkle with cheese, and place the plate in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. carefully remove from the oven and, if you like, top with sour cream and scallions. makes 2 enormous and amazingly delicious servings.
