Baked French Fries | Healthy French Fries Recipe
I’m excited to share this french fry recipe with you! These french fries are oven-baked and oil-free. They’re a big hit in our home and I suspect they’ll be in yours, too. Why? They are crispy, flavorful, and guilt-free. They aren’t fried or dripping in oil and are still just as delicious as regular fries.
My boyfriend created and perfected this recipe. Originally we used only two potatoes, but we ran out of fries too fast! We typically eat them as a side with our turkey or veggie burgers, but they make a great side dish for all types of meals.
If you have children or picky eaters, these homemade french fries are a lifesaver. Serve them to your kids or picky eaters, and they’ll be happy to eat ’em. Also, they’re a good way to add variety to family meals when you’re burnt out on mashed or baked potatoes.
Another reason you’ll love these fries? They’re so easy to make and have only three ingredients. While this recipe is simple, make sure to do two things. First, make sure to julienne (thinly slice) the potatoes nice and thin, so they’ll be crispy. Second, make sure to thoroughly dry off the potatoes in step 5. Your fries will come out soggy and limp if you don’t. Also, the fries generate some steam while baking in the oven, so don’t be alarmed!
