Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries are a delicious and slightly healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried French fries. These crispy, golden fries are oven-baked to perfection and tossed in a flavorful blend of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, making them an irresistible side dish or snack.

What Makes Them Special

Unlike regular fries, these are baked, not fried, which reduces the oil and fat content without sacrificing taste or texture. The real magic happens after baking—when the hot fries are coated with freshly grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. The cheese melts slightly on contact, forming a savory, aromatic crust that clings to every fry.
