Who said you need oil to make crispy fries? With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up fluffy, golden brown fries that are delicious and healthier. Let’s dive into this easy recipe!
Ingredients:
- 5 potatoes
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Optional: rosemary or your favorite spices
Instructions:
- Prep the Egg Whites: In a bowl, beat the egg whites until they’re frothy. Mix in the salt, pepper, paprika, and any additional spices you like. Rosemary is a great choice for extra flavor!
- Coat the Potatoes: Chop the potatoes into fry shapes (thin strips work best). In a large salad bowl, toss the potato sticks with the beaten egg whites, making sure they’re evenly coated. Get in there with your hands to really cover every piece!
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking pan with parchment or baking paper. This step is essential to prevent sticking and to help achieve that crispy texture!
- Arrange the Fries: Spread the coated potato sticks on the baking sheet in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd them! Give them some space to breathe for maximum crispiness.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and pop the baking sheet in. Check for doneness after 10 minutes. Halfway through, flip the fries to ensure they cook evenly. They should be ready in about 10 to 12 more minutes, depending on how crispy you like them.
- Optional Step for Extra Crispiness: For an even fluffier fry, you can briefly boil the potato sticks before coating them with egg whites and spices. Just remember, you’ll need to recoat them afterward.
Now you have the perfect recipe for making crispy fries without any oil! Enjoy your healthier snack, and get creative with your spices for a personalized touch. Have fun!
