Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 100 grams Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin sticks approximately 1/4 inch thick and immediately place them in a large bowl of cold water. Let soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Gradually add water to the dry mixture and whisk until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with the prepared batter, ensuring each fry is coated evenly with the batter.
Step 7
Drizzle olive oil over the battered fries and toss them gently to coat.
Step 8
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the fries to cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy your high protein seasoned French fries.
