Looking for an easy and healthy french fry recipe? These Air Fryer French Fries are going to revolutionize your fast food scene.
It is the year 2018 and there are more kitchen gadgets for sale than ever before! I am convinced that some of them are useless and not worth the money. This one is not one of them. Do YOU have an Air Fryer? If not, I think it is about time that you dust off a spot for one in your kitchen and splurrrrrge honey. It will revolutionize the way you eat fried food for the better! While I typically do not make fried foods like chicken nuggets at home, my goal is to bring you recipes that are similar, but easy and still healthy. Don’t be fooled… I still eat fried foods occasionally during happy hour at my favorite restaurants. What’s better than fried foods and drinks with friends? All I’m saying is this: If you do make fried foods at home, you can make them in less time and with less oil, ultimately still benefiting you by decreasing your fat intake. Basically meaning, if you eat a ton of fried foods, still get the gadget even if you have no desire of making any of my recipes. You will still benefit from it.
If you are trying to incorporate fun, “fried” foods into your kitchen, the Air Fryer, and my recipes are a great way to do it! I will be taking many classic fried foods and putting my own twist on them. Everything from peirogies to breaded shrimp, or even mozzarella sticks. The options are endless! What a better classic, fried food to start off with than good ole’ french fries! Just in time for the fall fair season! This recipe is almost too easy to make, and the fryer makes it virtuously effortless. You can even put your own spin on the fries by adding other spices prior to cooking, and various dipping sauces to your table. I secretly like mixing hot sauce with mustard. 🙂
