Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for mild heat)
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps with browning and balance)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, thoroughly mix all the spices and seasonings together until well blended to create your French fry seasoning.
- Use immediately or store: Sprinkle the seasoning directly onto hot fries right after cooking to maximize flavor. Alternatively, store the mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months for future use.
- Tips for best flavor: For fresh fries, toss them with a little oil or butter before adding the seasoning to help it adhere better. For frozen fries, season them immediately after baking or air frying while they are still hot to ensure the flavors stick well.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili powder or omit it entirely to control the heat level.
- The sugar is optional but adds a subtle sweetness that helps with browning and balancing the spices.
- Store the seasoning in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
- Great not only on fries but also on roasted vegetables and popcorn for added flavor.
- Use oil or melted butter on fries before seasoning for better adhesion and enhanced taste.
