Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0 as needed Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even strips to resemble traditional french fries. Try to ensure the strips are of uniform size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Step 4
Add the potato strips to the bowl with the seasonings and toss them to coat evenly. Use your hands to ensure each piece is covered with the seasoning.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overly crowded to help them crisp up properly.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the potato strips with olive oil spray. This will help them achieve a crispy texture while keeping the fat content low.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the fries to cool for a few minutes on the sheet before serving.
Step 9
Serve the low-fat seasoned french fries immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce if desired!
