Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and use a waffle cutter or mandoline to slice them into waffle shapes, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Slowly whisk in the water and olive oil into the dry mixture, creating a smooth batter.
Pat the sliced potatoes dry using a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture; this helps ensure they become crispy.
Dip each slice of potato into the batter, ensuring they're fully coated. Let the excess batter drip off before placing them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the coated potato slices are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet, without overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip each fry carefully using tongs or a spatula.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes to let the coating set.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
