Garlic Parmesan Oven Fries
What doesn’t taste better with garlic and Parmesan? This classic duo gives these oven-baked fries a burst of savory umami flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Honestly, I’d be perfectly content with a heaping plate of these Garlic Parmesan Oven Fries all by themselves, but why not elevate your meal by serving them alongside an equally amazing sandwich for a brag-worthy feast? Check out the suggestions below for tasty sandwiches and dipping sauces to pair with your fries!
Are Oven Baked Fries Crispy?
Thick-cut oven-baked fries like these won’t be as crispy as their deep-fried counterparts—that’s simply the difference between baking and deep frying. They will get slightly crispy around the edges, and the grated Parmesan helps add enough texture to the potatoes that you won’t really miss the super-crispy deep-fried feel.
Seasoning Suggestions for Oven Fries
What I love about these baked fries is that you can easily customize the seasoning to suit any flavor you prefer. When choosing whether to include Parmesan, consider the extra texture it adds to the fries. Here are some other seasoning ideas for your fries:
- Cajun seasoning
- Garlic Herb
- Basic seasoning salt (like Lawry’s)
- Chili powder
- Ranch seasoning
- Steak seasoning
What to Serve with Garlic Parmesan Fries
These Garlic Parmesan Fries are truly fantastic, and they deserve to be served alongside something just as delicious.
