BRING ON THE BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES!!
Parmesan and garlic are a match made in heaven. Turn that epic combo into these super crispy baked Parmesan garlic fries and you have yourself a super quick and easy-to-make side dish.
Many times when we go out to eat at restaurants I am hesitant to order fries. Although potatoes are technically gluten-free, the oil in which restaurants fry them in is generally cross-contaminated with other flour-coated items.
Yucky, bad-for-me oil + traces of wheat flour = an unhappy tummy.
Wanting to healthify the classic french fry recipe, I set out to make these Parmesan garlic fries by baking them in the oven instead of deep frying them. The goal was to achieve the same ratio of crispy : soft and not sacrifice too much on flavor.
