Air-Fryer Parmesan Fries

(GF) Gluten-Free, (VG) Vegetarian

No french fries are "healthy" but... personally if I'm craving some fries, I might as well have a version that won't wreck my diet. This recipe simplifies fries and removes a huge amount of the fat content by avoiding the deep-fry method to cooking them!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium russet potato

• 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

• 2 Tbsp garlic olive oil

• 2 Tbsp chopped thyme

• Sea salt (to taste)

• Optional: black garlic seasoning

• Optional: ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Cut the potato into desired size pieces. I found that the following dimensions per piece work best with this recipe: 1/4 inch thick, 1/8 inch deep, and 4 inches long.

2. In a mixing bowl, add the potatoes, olive oil, and thyme. Mix until the potatoes are well-coated.

3. Grease the air-fryer and add the potato mixture. Optional but recommended: sprinkle some black garlic and ground black pepper onto the potatoes.

4. Air fry at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Shake once at the 10-minute time point (halfway through).

5. Transfer to a serving dish. Top with grated parmesan and sea salt; Enjoy! *Note: try dipping these in ranch!
