Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are lightly browned, tender on the inside, and beautifully crispy on the outside. (20 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the seasoning blend.
To achieve maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. If necessary, bake the fries in batches.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce – ketchup, aioli, or a creamy avocado dip are all excellent choices.
Storage: These are best served immediately. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
