Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz Frozen French Fries (1/2 a bag)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Pre-heating is not required, but I think it helps for the fryer to heat up for a couple of minutes prior to adding my fries.
  2. Spray the inside of the air fryer with cooking oil spray to prevent the fries from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Add a single layer of frozen fries to the air fryer. I use my mega zone for this and can make about a half a bag at a time. Cook for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. While the fries cook, in a large bowl mix up the garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
  5. When the fries are done, do not allow the fries to cool in the fryer. I find that this makes my fries less crispy. As soon as the time ends, open the fryer and turn it off. Cool for a few minutes with the drawer open or lid off.
  6. Add the cooked fries to the bowl and toss in the parmesan mixture until coated.
  7. Transfer to a baking sheet or plate and serve.
  8. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
