Want to get your kids off the French fries and onto another vegetable? Do this by working potassium rich veggies, abundant during the fall months, into their diets. Carve up a butternut squash for tasty squares loaded with Vitamins C and A. Not only are squash cubes healthy, but they are yummy alongside chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese and soup.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
• Cut off the ends of the squash and then half it lengthwise
• Remove the seeds and fibers in the hollow of the squash
• Peel or cut off the hard outside shell (you can use a paring knife to remove the skin)
• Cut the squash into long strips and then dice into 2 inch squares. 

  Next, arrange the squares onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive or canola oil, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, a dash of black pepper and a half teaspoon of cinnamon. Then, mix the butternut squash by hand to evenly distribute the spices and the oil. Bake 40 minutes in the preheated oven, turning once. If your kids like to eat crispy foods, bake the squash a bit longer to achieve a harder texture.

  
  

  To serve, sprinkle them with a dash of kosher salt and plate with your kid's favorite foods.
