Chef Katie’s Plant-Based Cooking Tips:
Crispy Convection: If you have a convection setting on your oven, use it. “Convection” just means “fan”. This will give you better air circulation for crispier fries.
Single Layer Only: Be sure not to overcrowd your baking sheet, laying the fries into just a single layer. Use two sheet pans if needed.
More Spice: You can add extra spice with 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder or cayenne.
