Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries make for a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried fries. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into thin fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Add minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again until they are well coated with the seasonings.
- Arrange the seasoned potato fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
- Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
- Serve the Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or a garlic mayo.
These baked fries are a flavorful and satisfying snack or side dish. They capture the savory goodness of garlic and Parmesan without the excess oil of traditional fries. Enjoy!
