Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries Tips

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before you begin. This will help ensure that your fries bake evenly.
• Cut your potatoes into even-sized pieces so they’ll cook evenly. I like to cut my fries into about 1/2-inch thick strips.
• Be sure to use fresh grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. And don’t forget to season your fries with salt and pepper before baking!
• Bake your fries until they’re golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but it may vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Serve your Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries hot out of the oven for the best taste and texture.

Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries Variations

One of the great things about this recipe is that it’s easily adaptable. Here are a few ways you can change things up:

1. Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a twist on the classic fry.
2. Add some spice by sprinkling your fries with chili powder or cayenne pepper before baking.
3. Make them extra indulgent by dipping them in ranch dressing or ketchup mixed with garlic and Parmesan cheese.
4. For a healthy version, try baking your fries with olive oil instead of butter.
5. Get creative with your toppings! Try shredded cheese, bacon bits, or green onions for a delicious garnish.

Are Oven Baked Fries Crispy?

Yep! These oven-baked fries are incredibly crispy. They get their crispiness from the olive oil that they are coated with. Using olive oil and baking them is a healthier option than frying them in a vat of oil.

Seasoning Ideas For Oven Fries

We typically use Italian seasoning and parsley, but there are plenty of other options to try. Here are some ideas:

• Cajun seasoning

Best Parmesan To Use?

It’s best to use a block of parmesan that you shred yourself. I don’t recommend buying bags of cheese because they are coated with a non-sticking agent, and it affects how it melts.

What Kind Of Garlic To Use?

For best results, use minced garlic. You’ll get the most flavor if you mince it yourself, but you can also buy the little jars of it already minced. If you don’t have any fresh garlic, you can swap it for garlic powder instead.

Can These Be Frozen?

Yes, you can freeze these french fries after they have been cooked and cooled. Place them in a freezer bag, and they’ll last up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer. They don’t have to be thawed to reheat.

How To Reheat Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

Place the fries in an air fryer basket and heat at 350 for 5-8 minutes or until they are hot and crispy. You can also spritz them with a little bit of olive oil to make them extra crispy.
