Steps:
- Slice the acorn squash in half horizontally, then scoop out all of the seeds. Slice into ⅛-inch pieces and set aside. For the butternut squash, peel away the outer skin well and slice into similar sized slices.
- For the ketchup chip salt, transfer the chips to a resealable plastic bag then crush them into fine pieces (use your hands, a rolling pin, or a kitchen mallet). Place the chips in a bowl, then mix in the salt. In a separate bowl, mix the maple syrup and chili flakes. Set both the chip salt and spiced maple aside.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven bring your oil up to 350⁰F. While the oil heats, make your beer batter. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake flour, salt, and baking powder. Then pour in the cold beer, followed by the egg. Whisk well to incorporate.
- When the oil has reached its temperature, begin coating the slices of squash in the batter, making sure to shake off any excess, before carefully placing in the oil. Deep-fry the squash for 2 to 3 minutes, being mindful not to overcrowd the pot (this will drop the temperature), then transfer to a paper towel lined sheet tray to absorb any extra oil. Season immediately with a liberal sprinkling of the ketchup chip salt. Continue frying in batches until all of the squash is cooked.
- To serve, place the fried squash in a paper-towel lined serving basket. Sprinkle on some extra chip salt if desired, and garnish with finely sliced chives. Serve with the spiced maple syrup for dipping and enjoy!
