Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Cut each potato into evenly sized sticks or wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, and unsalted Cajun seasoning, tossing thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-coated.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper to the bowl, and mix until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there's some space between each piece to allow them to crisp up properly.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the tray, turn the fries with a spatula, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fries rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite low-sodium ketchup or dipping sauce.
