I’ve been using my FryDaddy electric deep fryer ($22 on Amazon) like crazy after buying it earlier this year. I fill it with coconut oil and fry Brussels sprout leaves, sweet potato slices, and butternut squash fries.
Lately I’ve been frying thinly cut slices of butternut squash. It’s a bit tricky, because for five minutes it doesn’t look like anything is happening, then suddenly the slices begin to brown, and about a minute later, they start to burn. There’s a 30-second window where they are perfectly browned and on the edge of being crispy and chewy. With a little salt, they are one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten. I’ll shoot a video soon.
