Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Frozen French fries (quantity as desired)
- Optional: Olive oil spray
- Optional: Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 360-375°F (182-190°C), adjusting based on the type of fries you have. This ensures the fries cook evenly and become crispy.
- Arrange the fries: Place the frozen fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer for optimal crispiness. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air circulation.
- Cook the fries: Air fry for 8-12 minutes depending on the fry style, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Optional seasoning: Before cooking, you may spray the basket with olive oil spray for extra crispness and sprinkle salt either before or after cooking according to your preference.
- Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, remove fries from the basket, add any additional seasoning you like, and serve hot.
Notes
- Cooking times vary based on the style and size of fries; thinner fries cook quicker.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking prevents sticking and promotes even crisping.
- Most frozen fries come pre-oiled and seasoned, so additional oil or salt might be unnecessary.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or parmesan for extra flavor.
