Seasoning Variety: Feel free to get creative with the seasoning! Try adding chili powder, onion powder, or even grated parmesan cheese to add a bit of extra flair.
Herb Infusion: For an extra punch of flavor, toss the potatoes with fresh rosemary or thyme before baking. You can even make them spicy by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper!
FAQ:
Can I use other vegetables instead of potatoes? Absolutely! Carrots, parsnips, or even zucchini can be used as a substitute. Just make sure to adjust cooking times depending on the vegetable.
How can I make them extra crispy? The key is spreading the pieces out on the baking sheet so they don’t overlap, and making sure they are coated evenly with oil. You can also finish them off under the broiler for a few minutes to get that extra crisp.
Can I fry these instead of baking them? Yes, you can! Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet and fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain them on paper towels before serving.
This "Better Than Fries!" recipe is a game-changer for those who crave that crispy, crunchy texture without the hassle. It's easy, flavorful, and can be customized to your tastes!
