I love french fries. It’s one of my weaknesses. There’s just something comforting about the crispy outside and soft, flavorful insides of fries. So when I went oil-free, I had to find a replacement for fried, well, fries. Enters Crispy Baked Fries (and they’re oil-free too).
This recipe for oil-free baked fries delivers crispy goodness along with yummy flavor. Eat them with a delicious black bean burger or as a snack on the go. Either way, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with these mouth-watering oven-baked fries.
What helps give these oven-baked fries its crispy texture without oil? Ice cold water.
I got the idea for using cold water from Danielle at Healthy Girl Kitchen. I just tweaked the seasonings a bit and voila! I discovered my favorite french fries recipe.
