Homemade French Fry Seasoning Recipe
Just when you think perfectly crisp, golden french fries can’t get any better, add this killer seasoning blend to them. I promise, you won’t want to eat fries any other way after this. Although I recommend trying this with homemade french fries or Baked Potato Wedges. For a quicker turnaround, you can use frozen french fries as well.
When to Season French Fries
Whether or not you season the french fries before or after they are cooked depends on the cooking method that you use:
Onion salt Paprika Dried parsley Garlic powder Dried oregano Dried thyme Dried basil Black pepper Cayenne pepper, optional
Yields 3 Tablespoons seasoning
Deep Fried french fries are seasoned immediately after they’re finished frying. Baked or Air Fried fries are seasoned before they’re cooked. They’re brushed with olive oil first to allow the seasoning to stick to the fries.
The BEST Way To Season French Fries
The methods below apply to homemade or frozen french fries.
Oven-Baked French Fries
Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the french fries with olive oil. Sprinkle french fry seasoning as evenly as you can over the fries and bake at 400°F until warm and golden brown. about 20 minutes.
Deep-Fried Fries
Have the combined french fry seasoning ready and use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil once they are golden-brown. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels and sprinkle them immediately with french fry seasoning.
Storage
Store in an airtight container. Dried herbs and spices are best if used between 1-3 years. I recommend making this seasoning in bulk and storing them in these spices jars.
