Oooo pray tell how do you make them ?? I love BNS and havent had any for ages.!! chips sound devine.!

 

[Starlight]

Ive never tried BNS but after the rave reviews here I MUST get some. Im interested in hearing what you do with it

 

[Cavycrazy]

Is BNS 0 points ??? I assumed it would have points, a bit like spuds!!

If you have never tried it, I can really recommed it, mashed, boiled, its so yummy! ((makes mental note to get some)).

 

[BurtBird]

Is yum .... its great but sooo hard to peel ... I have eaten with skin on before but very chewy!!!

xxx

 

[Sparkle]

How exactly did you make them?!

I made BNS wedges last week but it's wasn't very successful and I didn't like them much.

I made some last week and ended up eating one, letting my mum try one, and then giving the rest to the dogs. I thought they were horrible!

 

[sarah5]

easy to peel - just stand the bns on it's end and use a sharp knife all the way down (be careful!!) all the way round.. cut into chip shapes or wedges, shove in a baking tray dish, squirt with that better than butter spray stuff and bake for.. not sure - ages! you feel like you're getting a real treat, they're absolutely delicious and yet they are 0 POINTS!!

 

[sarah5]

not the first time, but last night they went really crispy , you have to cook them for quite a while, i think mine were in for abour an hour almost!!

 

[BurtBird]

I put mine on gas mark 6 I think ... is that what you do sarah?

 

[sarah5]

um I just shove it on about 200 degrees, not sure about gas mark sorry!

 

[nicolas]

is there no syns in it ?

 

[Kater-tater]

NO syns because its WW
No points either. I had these tonight, sooo yummy but hoenstly the smelly side effects are not worth it for me! shame as they are a great 0 point food. lol

 

[vicki_ww]

[Madmumto4]

ok im stupid today and having a bad day lol, (not food wise i have teething twins) whats bns? LOL
i cant cut butternut squash i make a right mess lol

 

[WMBB]

bns= butter nut squash lol

 

[Purple_Star]

Hey if you bake it in the oven whole for half an hour, the skin just falls off ands its so easy to cut. Then you can cut it, spray with oil and bake to make wedges. Or add to stock for soup, or whatever you fancy!!

I've tried BNS before as mash ! In M&S they do packets of the stuff diced up already peeled and in Tesco you can buy them as wedges for £1 in a packet Really nice!!! will have to try doing own chips though, thanks!

 

[Redpam]

When I can get BNS out here I just peel it with a potato peeler. I never thought that my DH and Mum would like it but they do.

 

[DopeyAngel]

I heart BNS and have it probably far too often. I think it's alright with the skin on but my flatmate prefers it peeled so I do both. It's lovely with other roasted veg as well e.g. peppers, red onions, tomatoes. Yumscious.

I think it's fine if you're open minded about trying new things but I would think if you're expecting real 'chips' you might be disappointed.
