Baked Basil Fries Recipes

BAKED BASIL FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick strips. In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Toss potatoes with mixture.
• Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place potatoes on cookie sheet in single layer. Bake 15 minutes; turn potatoes, and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until tender.

BAKED PARMESAN CARROT FRIES WITH LEMON-BASIL AIOLI

Steps:

• For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, basil, lemon zest and juice and garlic in a blender and blend until almost smooth. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the carrot fries: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Fit a large baking pan with a wire rack and spray the rack with cooking spray.
• Mix together the panko, Parmesan, parsley, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a wide shallow bowl. Whisk the milk and eggs together in another shallow bowl.
• Toss the carrots with the flour. Working with a few carrots at a time, shake off the excess flour, then dip them in the egg. Let the excess egg drip off, then toss them in the panko mixture, patting them so the crumbs adhere. Arrange them on the wire rack in a single layer.
• Spray the coated carrots thoroughly with cooking spray, then bake until golden brown and crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve the carrot fries with the aioli for dipping.

OVEN BAKED BASIL FRIES

Steps:

• Position two racks in the lower third of the oven. Heat oven to 450*. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
• Place the potato wedges on the parchment lined baking sheets, leaving space between each wedge.
• Roast 20 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven, flip each wedge, then return the baking sheets to the oven, taking care to switch the positions of the baking sheets to ensure even baking.
• While the potatoes finish roasting, prepare the basil butter sauce. Heat a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add the butter and heat until it melts, then foams. Once the foam subsides, add the garlic and sautee, stirring continuously, until fragrant and lightly golden brown, approximately 1 minute. Stir in the basil and remove from heat.
• Brush the basil sauce oven the oven fries, then dust with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until re-crisped and dust with fresh basil if available.
