Cheesy Chili Baked Potato Fries, Oil Free! *Vegan
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds yellow or russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 dash cayenne pepper, optional
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
- Fresh garlic
- Ketchup
- Garlicky guacamole jalapeno queso
- Buffalo salsa
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line two, or more as needed, baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice potatoes into small wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. Place in a steamer basket or large colander set over a pot of boiling water. Cover and then steam approximately 5 minutes until slightly tender but not cooked. Transfer to baking sheets and top with nutritional yeast, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Toss gently to coat. Arrange in an even layer on baking sheet, trying not to overlap, so that fries can get crispy. The more room they have, the crispier they will become. Use two baking sheets if needed. Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove from oven and increase heat to 450 degrees. Flip to ensure even baking on both sides and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Serve hot! They're delicious as is, but they're elevated tossed in fresh herbs and garlic and served with ketchup or guacamole. Best fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Reheat in a 375 degree oven until hot.
