  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder For that aromatic punch.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Complementing the garlic beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano A hint of herbaceous goodness.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  7. Step 7: Lightly spray or drizzle the fries with cooking spray or olive oil.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
