Discover the secret to achieving perfectly crispy fries without a single drop of oil! This healthy oven-baked method uses a clever egg white coating for a golden, guilt-free snack.
- Prep the Egg Wash: Whisk egg whites until frothy. Add salt, pepper, paprika, and any optional spices for a flavor boost.
- Coat the Potatoes: Cut potatoes into uniform fries. Toss them in the egg white mixture until evenly coated.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange fries in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Pro Tip: For extra crispy fries, parboil them for 5 minutes before coating with the egg wash.
