Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 60 grams chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into waffle shapes using a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade attachment. Rotate the potato 90 degrees after each slice to achieve the classic waffle cut.
In a large bowl, mix together the chickpea flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dry mixture.
Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the potatoes and toss again until all slices are well-coated.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy the high-protein twist on classic waffle fries!
