Spiced Fries Will Rock Your World!
Surprisingly simple Spiced Fries will rock your world~
Are Spiced Fries going to beat out the hot and crispy fries from your favorite burger joint? Of course not. What they will do is make for a fun and fast side dish that’s versatile and can easily be changed up to go with any main course.
I’ve said it before: the Freezer section provides a lot of my pantry staples. Check out Frozen Veggies Rock! for a refresher. We always, always have frozen fries of some variety in there, and they come out for dinner at least every other week. What this recipe does is add a little zip to their step in a fast and super easy way.
With Spiced Fries, the variety is endless.
The ones in the pictures below are Garlic Parmesan – and they’re made with only 5 ingredients. Change up the spice and/or the fries and you’ve completely changed the recipe in the best way possible! Use what you love and, more importantly, what you have on hand. Spiced Fries don’t require cheese, although it adds a lot of flavor.

Let’s make Spiced Fries!
Bake the fries according to the manufacturers directions. You want them cooked through and crispy, but not so cooked that they are dry. The cheese and spices need something to cling to!
Put the dry ingredients in your big bowl (affiliate links follow) and mix well.
Throw in your fries.
Toss them up! I put them back in the oven (turn it off first) to let the cheese cling a little better to the fries. Give it about 2 minutes.
Spiced French Fries
Ingredients
- 2 pound Bag of Frozen French Fries
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated finely
- 1 tbsp Parsley, dried
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Spread frozen fries evenly over cooking sheet and bake until crisp and golden brown, about 18 minutes. Use spatula to flip fries about half way through cooking to make sure they brown evenly.
- While fries are cooking, combine cheese, parsley, garlic powder and salt in big bowl.
- When fries are done, toss well with spice mixture. Turn off oven. Put fries back on baking sheet and place in oven for two minutes or so to help cheese and spice mixture adhere.
- Enjoy!
