Oven-Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries
Ingredients
For the Fries:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Russet potatoes (cleaned and sliced into fries) | 4 large |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Smoked paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt and ground black pepper | To taste |
For the Parmesan Finish:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Fresh parsley (minced) | ¼ cup |
| Fresh garlic (minced) | 2–3 cloves |
Instructions
🔸 Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
🔸 Step 2: Season the Potatoes
Slice your potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
🔸 Step 3: Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren’t crowded (this helps them crisp up nicely). Bake for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
🔸 Step 4: Prepare the Parmesan Mixture
While the fries bake, mix the Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
🔸 Step 5: Finish and Serve
Once the fries are fresh out of the oven, sprinkle them immediately with the Parmesan mixture. Toss gently to coat while everything is still hot so the cheese slightly melts and the flavors meld.
Serve these garlicky Parmesan fries hot for the best flavor and crunch. Whether paired with burgers, dipped in aioli, or enjoyed on their own — they’re sure to be a hit!
