Steps:
- put dry ingredients into a medium pan.
- add ⅓ of the water and beat to a smooth paste using a manual whisk.
- incorporate the remaining water, EVOO and salt, whilst continuing to whisk.
- cook over medium heat for a few minutes, while you keep whisking, until the mix thickens (to about the consistency of polenta).
- pour onto a sheet of parchment paper, quickly spreading with a spatula uniformly, to about 1cm high.
- once cool and firm, cut 1cm lines across and 6-7cm lines the other way, so as to achieve French fries shapes.
- pre-heat oven to 180°C fan (200°C static).
- cover a baking tray with parchment paper brushed with EVOO, add fries, brush a little more olive oil over them, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and bake for 20 mins.
- turn fries over, sprinkle salt again and bake for another 15-20 mins until crispy.
- serve with home-made ketchup (2:1 ratio of mayonnaise to tomato concentrate + a little Dijon mustard + a little water).

POTATO-FREE FRENCH FRIES
I used half of a butternut squash to make these fries. The other half went to my "Fat-Free Vegetarian Butternut Squash Soup." The fries are very easy, and have a few more vitamins and less fat than the common fast-food variety.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Seed, peal, and cut squash into fry-sized chunks. The size should be roughly 3-4 inches long, 1/2 inch deep, and 1/2 inch wide.
- Use coconut oil to grease a baking pan/cookie sheet. I line the pan with aluminum foil and grease the foil for easy clean up. Coconut oil is very healthy, but if you don't have it, you can use canola oil or a non-stick spray.
- Arrange squash fries on the pan.
- Sprinkle fries with salt and basil.
- Bake fries for 20 minutes.
- Turn fries to cook the other side, and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Fries are finished when the edges are slightly brown and crispy.
