- Tongs or Spatula for flipping or shaking fries
- Oil spray bottle optional
- Measuring spoons optional for seasonings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen French fries any variety, such as crinkle-cut or straight-cut
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil optional, for extra crispiness
- Salt to taste
- Optional seasonings: Garlic powder smoked paprika, pepper, or cheese powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Fries:While the air fryer is preheating, take your frozen fries and, if desired, lightly coat them with olive oil (you can use a spray bottle or toss them in a bowl).
- Season with salt or any additional seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Cook the Fries: Place the fries in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure even cooking. If necessary, cook the fries in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for optimal crispiness.
- Check for Crispiness: After 15 minutes, check the fries. If they’re not crispy enough, add an extra 2-5 minutes to your cook time, checking every minute for the desired texture.
- Serve: Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings.
