If you’re looking for a fun air fryer fries recipe that yields the crispiest fries and is different from your typical lightly salted fries, you can’t miss this recipe! I always like the classic French fries that are seasoned with a touch of salt. But when it comes to home cooking, I like to spice up my fries with a bit of extra additional seasoning to make them more flavorful. This recipe is inspired by the Chinese-style summer grilling spice mix – a mix that contains garlic, cumin, and a touch of chili powder for a balanced savory taste. Since I’ve tried making air fryer fries, I’ll never go back to deep frying fries at home because these are SO EASY to make and taste perfect. Instead of several cups of oil, you only need 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil for a good batch of fries. If properly done, the fries will be crunchy and crispy on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside.

Cooking process
Making air fryer fries couldn’t be easier.
Adjust your cooking time according to your air fryer
I use a Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven currently. We upgraded to it when our old one from 5 years ago gave out. I ended up getting an air fryer toaster oven because: Depending on the type of air fryer you use, you might find the cooking time needing to vary slightly. My air fryer is quite powerful and sometimes it needs less time. When you’re using an air fryer recipe, always check on your food a few times during cooking, and adjust the cooking time in small increments until you achieve the best result.
