Air-Fried Garlic Parmesan Fries
The air fryer delivers golden, ultra-crispy fries with hardly any mess, while keeping things quick and easy. Once they are hot and crunchy, the fries are tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce and finished with a generous shower of Parmesan—bold, savory, and completely irresistible.
Equipment
- Measuring spoons
- 1 knife

- Air Fryer
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 large bowl

Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley chopped fine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. fresh rosemary chopped fine
- 1/4 Parmesan grated or shredded
- 1 lemon zested

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne, parsley, rosemary, olive oil and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
- Place the frozen French fries in the air fryer basket or tray. It is important not to overcrowd the fries. As a general rule, it is best to fill the space no more than halfway to allow better air circulation. You will have to work in batches. Keep warm in the oven while batches cook in the air fryer.
- Cook for 10 minutes at the highest temperature setting.
- Remove and toss the fries.
- Cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the fries reach the desired level of crispiness for your taste.
- Place all the French fries in a large bowl.
