Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick fries.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, cornstarch, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 4
In a second bowl, lightly beat the egg whites with a fork until slightly frothy.
Step 5
Dip each potato fry into the egg whites, allowing excess to drip off, and then toss it in the chickpea flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the fries.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy these High Protein Cajun Fries as a delicious snack or side dish.
