Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

 

Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries are a delicious and flavorful alternative to traditional fries. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Cut the potatoes into fries or wedges, depending on your preference. Make sure they are of similar size for even cooking.
    • Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
  3. Drain and Dry:
    • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. Seasoning Mixture:
    • In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Coat the Fries:
    • Place the dried fries back into the large bowl and drizzle the seasoning mixture over them. Toss the fries until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
    • Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even baking.
  7. Bake in the Oven:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Flip the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
  8. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor.
  9. Serve Immediately:
    • Serve the Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries hot and enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

These fries are not only tasty but also a bit healthier since they are baked instead of fried. Feel free to customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
