Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen French fries
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Step 2
While fries are baking, prepare the dairy-free cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.
Step 3
Add the unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, remove the cheese sauce from the heat and set aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon slices until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
Once the fries are ready, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the dairy-free cheese sauce over the fries.
Step 7
Top the cheese-drizzled fries with crispy turkey bacon pieces, chopped green onions, parsley, and sliced jalapeños if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the savory flavors of dairy-free loaded cheese fries.
