You've got to give these air fryer French fries a try! If you're someone who loves crispy, crunchy French fries, then this recipe is for you. You'll especially love it if you're not crazy about all the added fat and calories in regular fries. With an air fryer, you can get that crispy texture that you love without all the guilt.
What is an air fryer? An air fryer is a small appliance that cooks food by rapidly circulating hot air. Because of this, you only need a small amount of oil to cook your food (compared with a deep fat fryer). Air fryers also cook food more quickly than most conventional ovens, making them a great time saver.
Let's talk about these french fries! Making them really couldn't be any simpler. All you have to do is cut up a few potatoes, season with your favorite spices, and pop them in the air fryer for 20 minutes. We love paprika and garlic powder, but feel free to add some other seasonings you love (onion powder or cumin would be fantastic!). The finished fries are crispy, flavorful, and totally guilt free. You've got to make these this week.
