These 'fries' made with Chinese five-spice powder are sweet and spicy, and they're a fiber-full, lower-carb alternative to French fries. Made in the air fryer, they're less messy and can cook up while the rest of your meal is in the making.

These are delicious! We loved the flavors from the spices which really made the fries have a wow factor. Definitely my favorite air fryer butternut squash recipe.

These are delicious. I only subtract a star because my air fryer burned them within 5 minutes. I tried again at a lower temp and same thing. My third try I used grape seed oil, cooked at 350 for 10 minutes, and seasoned them after they cooked. This time they turned out perfect, delicious, and as beautiful as the ones in the pictures. If you have a cheap air fryer like me, you might need to tweak the recipe a bit.
