Ingredients
- 400g French Fries
- 100g Parmesan
- Garlic
- Fresh chives
- Salt
- Hot Paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer. I like to preheat the air fryer just like you would an oven, so it's nice and toasty once the fries go in.
- Add the fries. When air frying fries, there will always be some overlap and that's OK. For reference, I cook about 1 pound of frozen fries at one time in a 6-quart air fryer.
- Cook the fries. Spray the fries with olive oil cooking spray and cook for about 15 minutes. It's important to shake the basket of fries halfway through the cook time to ensure the fries all cook evenly since there will be some overlapping. I also like to spray the fries with more olive oil cooking spray halfway through the cook time. The oil helps the fries gets crispy.
- Garlic parmesan fries. Once the fries finish cooking, toss the hot fries with garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan and salt.
