Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 spray can Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spray can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips to resemble French fries.
Place the potato strips into a large bowl and spray them lightly with olive oil spray. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss until all the fries are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary to allow for proper crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip the fries using a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and guilt-free baked spicy French fries!
