How To Make Air Fryer Fries

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Smoked paprika adds flavor without increasing calories.

cayenne pepper

🥗Healthier: red pepper flakes

💰Cheaper: chili powder

Red pepper flakes provide a similar heat with more availability.

parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: green onions

Cilantro adds freshness and is often more affordable.

If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat to 380°F, as needed.

Slice potatoes into even ¼ inch strip fries or alternatively you can use a fry cutter if you have one.

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil and season with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.

Working in batches (depending on the size of your air fryer), place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not crowding or overlapping.

Air fry at 380°F for 12 to 16 minutes (or longer), flipping halfway through, until desired crispness or until golden brown.

Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with coarse salt, chopped fresh parsley and serve with desired dipping sauce.
