Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 small Red chili peppers
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the russet potatoes into thin strips to form fries. Aim for even thickness for uniform cooking.
Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Meanwhile, prepare the peri peri sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, chopped red chili peppers, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and water. Blend until smooth.
Drain and pat dry the potatoes with a clean kitchen towel. The drier they are, the crispier they will bake.
In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately toss them with the peri peri sauce, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your spicy, tangy Vegan Peri Peri Fries!
