  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp lemon juice from concentrate
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish
  • 1/4 cup diced white onions for garnish
  • 1/2 Jalapeno diced for garnis

Instructions

  1. Cook French fries in air fryer basket at 400F for 12-15 mins. Make sure to lightly spray the basket/grease. If you do not have an air fryer cook according to package directions.
  2. Once fries are cooked, empty fries into a mixing bowl. Toss in olive oil and mix fries. Add all spices and mix well. Add in 1/4 cup of the cheese.

  3. Empty seasoned fries into a 6 in cast iron (or oven safe dish). Toss minced garlic and lemon juice on top of the fries. Lastly, sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of the cheese on top of the fries. Broil in conventional oven at 350F for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. You can also place an oven safe dish in the air fryer! It is a matter of preference for this part.

  4. Top fries with cilantro, onions and jalapeños before serving! Enjoy.
