Butternut squash fries!

Seriously, you'll think you are eating sweet potato French fries.  They are very low in calorie and very low carb.  A cup of these babies is under 100 calories and will definitely fix a sweet potato craving!  To make these all you will need are:
1 butternut squash
sea salt
Pam

1.)  First peel the squash.  Next cut into the shape of fries.  Place on a microwave safe plate.  Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes (or until the "fries" are softened a bit).  The length of time will depend on the size your squash was before you started.
2.)  Turn your oven on to broil.  Spread the "fries"  on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam.  Make sure they are flat and not overlapping.  Spray the top of the "fries" and sprinkle with the sea salt.
3.)  Place under the broiler.  After they crisp up on the top side, flip them over.  Repeat until the fries have reached your desired level of crispiness.
