#ad Friends, I’m sharing my final recipe in partnership with the FreeStyle Libre 14 day system from Abbott, and it’s an all-time favorite of mine – Parmesan Garlic Squash Fries. This diabetes friendly recipe puts the perfect healthy spin on a snacking classic, especially when counting carbs and looking for simple ways to modify.
And the good news is that while one hand holds a fry, the other can be easily monitoring your glucose levels with the FreeStyle Libre 14 day system because you have a free hand check your numbers without fingersticks!* Full recipe below. #TeamFreeStyleLibre #AbbottGlobal #YouCanHaveIt
* Fingersticks are required for treatment decisions when you see Check Blood Glucose symbol, when symptoms do not match system readings, when you suspect readings may be inaccurate, or when you experience symptoms that may be due to high or low blood glucose.

INGREDIENTS (Four servings) Olive oil spray (propellant free)
1 butternut squash (at least 2 ½ pounds; not all will be used for this recipe) or 1-pound crinkle cut butternut squash sticks 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (preferably natural) 1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
1/8 teaspoon sea salt Crinkle cutter
DIRECTIONS
– Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil.
– Lightly mist it with spray.
– Cut both ends from the squash, then peel it, making sure to remove both the very outer layer of peel and the inner bit that is much lighter than most of the squash.
– Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Using a large spoon, scrape out the seeds.
– Cut the top portions just above the seeds off both halves (reserve the area with the seeds for another recipe).
– Using a crinkle cutter, cut 1/2-inch-thick by approximately 4-inch-long fry like pieces from the top portions until you have 1 pound of “fries” (reserve any excess with the bottoms).
– Transfer the fries to a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil then sprinkle the cheese, parsley, garlic, paprika, and salt over top.
– Gently toss them until the fries are evenly coated.
– Place the fries on the prepared baking sheet so they don’t touch.
– Bake them until the fries are caramelized and tender throughout, about 20–25 minutes per side.
– Enjoy!
