do you ever contemplate stealing other peoples' garlic fries?

boyfriend and i went to go see sucker punch, which is totally awesome, btw, i don't care what all those haters say, and there must have been a garlic fries festival happening downtown or something because it smelled *delicious*.  i was jealous of those fries i could smell and not see and then it came to me.  i could turn those two crazy pumpkin looking thingies on top of my fridge into weird fries!  and i did!  those weird things are called kabocha squash.  i looked them up on my telephone-internet-doo-dad, and found out they have ~6.5g carbs per cup.  i don't know if this is net carbs or total carbs, but i was like whatevs, that's better than regular pumkin and spaghetti squash either way so i'm gettin' it.  i had no idea why, maybe i was on a shoppers high.  they've been sitting on top of the fridge for just over a week now, and i'd been hoping they'd inspire me into something magical, and then there were fries.  so here they are.  i don't know how many carbs.

ingredients

some punkin' squashy type doo dads
olive oil
seasonings (see below)

• preheat oven to 350F
• peel squash.  this sucks, i hurt my fingers.  gut those squash by scoopin out all their seed innards.  cut squash into slices 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick, about 3 inches long.
• toss two cups of sliced squash with two tablespoons of olive oil and your seasoning choices.  i made four different kinds

curry spice:

• 2 tsp curry powder
• 0.5 tsp garlic salt
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper

garlic!:

• 5 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 tsp garlic salt

cajun:

• 2 tsp cajun seasoning (this one is really complicated)

italian:

• 1 tsp italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp dried onion

• after tossed, placed fries on parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the oven
• stir them around after about 15 minutes and turn heat up to 400.  remove from the oven when some of the edges have become golden.  but be careful!  they burn fast, see:

those are the curry and garlic ones.  they were still super delicious.

and there are the cajun and italians.  we went crazy for these dang fake fries.  its actually the first time that i've ever made baked fries and they turned out crispy and delicious.  i think it must have been the parchment paper, which i've never used before.  anyway, well worth hoarding those squashy doo dads
