Can you imagine life without fries? Personally, I really enjoy eating them, however, I spent a long time tweaking the right recipe. There are many different ways to make crispy French fries. They are often deep-fried in a lot of fat or baked in a deep fryer. Neither option sounds sexy to me. I set out to find crispy low-fat fries that are easy to make and bake in the oven . There are a few simple tricks and your favorite fries will be just phenomenal.

Vegan fries …. what?

All you need is 45 minutes, an oven and a few simple ingredients. Home potatoes, high heat sunflower oil, rice flour and a little salt. Of course, you can always add a few more spices.

Here are a few variations:

  • Chili flakes for a fiery variation
  • Thyme, oregano, basil and marjoram for an Italian version
  • or with smoked paprika powder (very tasty!)

Greasy fries? No thanks!

Peel the potatoes, cut them into slices and then comes already the trick number 1: bathe the potatoes in hot water.
why? This washes out some of the starch, which in turn is responsible for why the fries don’t crisp up. Drain, pat dry and trick number 2: dust with rice flour or cornstarch.
why? This once again takes away the last bit of moisture on the surface and paves the way for damn crispy fries.

Can fries actually not be vegan? Yes they can! However, only if you bake them with an animal fat and we want to avoid that as much as possible. I use a high oleic sunflower oil for baking, which I highly recommend. But olive oil or canola oil also works. Perfect! Now just preheat the oven, prepare the baking tray and off you go.

Are you more the ketchup or mayo type?

Somehow the question always reminds me of dating. Who’s cooler, the ketchup or the mayo guy? Or is the French fries red and white guy your favorite? Honestly, for a long time I was not a fan of mayo at all, until I discovered my own variant. Mayo on the basis of cashew nuts , as I love them.

Depending on whether the dish is a Lunch or dinner Depending on whether the dish is to be served on its own or as a menu, you can vary the portion sizes. The standard quantity for this recipe is enough for two people as a side dish.

The crispiest fries (45 minutes) are:

  • filling
  • Super fast made
  • low fat
  • Spicy
  • Crispy

Extremely crispy, low-fat and vegan fries. Perfect for a light lunch or dinner, as a side dish or just in between. Baked in the oven in a little fat, seasoned to taste, they go perfectly with homemade cashew mayo or tomato ketchup.
