Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or according to the package instructions for the waffle fries.
Spread the frozen waffle fries out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until crisp and golden brown, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
While the fries are baking, prepare the seasoning by combining olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
When the waffle fries are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl while still hot.
Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the fries and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the fries and toss again until the cheese has adhered to the fries.
Transfer the fries to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Parmesan Waffle Fries as a snack or side dish!
