INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS
Can I use sweet potato fries?
If you want to, sure. Sweet potato fries typically take a little less time to cook, so check them more frequently and expect them to take 5-10 less cooking time than the recipe below.
Can I change the seasoning?
Of course! Keep the salt and pepper the same, beyond that, you can switch the seasoning for anything you want.
I PREFER THICKER/ THINNER FRIES
I opted to make these an average fries texture. Chunkier or skinnier will require different cooking times. For skinner fries, reduce the heat to 175°c and cook for 5-10 minutes less. For thicker fries, keep the temperature the same, but they may take up to an hour to cook.
HOW TO STORE, KEEP AND REHEAT
If you’ve made a few too many and realised prior to cooking, that’s easier. Just store them in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for 3-4 days then continue cooking as per the instructions below.
It’s a little bit harder if you’ve already cooked them, because you don’t want to make them soggy in the reheating process. Fries that are a little chunkier are easier to reheat and reheat in a really hot oven. Preheat your oven to 230°c and cook for 5 – 10 minutes, check after 5 minutes and every minute or two after that until they’re hot enough.

Ingredients
- 1 kg raw potatoes
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Salt
- Generous amount of pepper
- 25 g vegan parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°c. Line a couple of large baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Chop your potatoes into thick fries. You can peel them or opt for skin on, I personally prefer skin on fries so left them as they were.
- Add your potatoes to a large mixing bowl along with the oil, rosemary, garlic, pepper and chilli. Thoroughly combine until all of the fries are evenly coated.
- Transfer the fries to the lined baking trays. Spread evenly so they have space, do not crowd the trays. Sprinkle the trays with a generous amount of salt then place in the oven.
- Remove from the oven every 10-15 minutes to toss the fries and ensure they aren’t sticking. If you know you have hot spots in your oven, switch the trays so they cook evenly. Cook for a total of 45-50 minutes. Remove the fries from the oven 5-10 minutes before they’re finished and sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Return to the oven to complete the cooking time.
