How to Make Skinny Fries in the Oven
I love FRENCH FRIES. So delish, and dipped in ketchup (Heinz of course) is pretty close to heaven. And while the doc has some great tips on healthy eating, does anyone want to mess with a pregnant lady when she is in a happy place???? My husband would say no :o) But there is a small hiccup in one of my favorite foods mentioned by the doc, they aren’t that great for you. Most fries after all are FRIED. Well, I have done what I can to make them “not so bad.” And today I want to share with you how to make homemade skinny fries in the oven!
First, and foremost, you have to cut them correctly, so check this out.
Once you have your fries cut follow the recipe below and you will be on your way to heaven too!!
- 2 potatoes
- Olive Oil
- Chili Powder
- Garlic Salt
- Pepper
- Pre-heat the oven to 415 degrees
- Slice fries according to the picture above & place in a bowl
- Add about 1/3 a cup of olive oil, 1 tbsp of chili powder, 1/2 - 1 tbsp of garlic salt, and pepper to taste
- Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil or cooking spray
- Spread out the fries so they are all laying flat
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes and then flip
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
I hope everyone is having a great day & are adding these fries to you dinner plans tonight :o) Maybe pair them with some slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches and peach cobbler for dessert!
Made them tonight – they are awesome! Something about the chili powder makes the flavor very close to fried (not sure how to explain it – but really good). Question – I made 4 potatoes and doubled the other ingredients. Definitely overdid it and had to pour a lot of extra out. What would you suggest for the ingredient amounts when the recipe is doubled? Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Maybe just 1.5 the recipe??? A true double would be a liitle much too i would think :)

These are great!! I hope you enjoy them :o) So glad you stopped by!
These look awesome! But I’m wondering… Can you freeze them? Like make a bunch ahead of time and pull them out as needed.
The texture of these fries look amazing! And so simple – will definitely try these.
