These Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries deliver all the crunch and satisfaction of restaurant-style fries—without the deep fryer. Tossed in olive oil, roasted until golden-crisp, then finished with garlic, fresh parsley, and a generous shower of Parmesan, they’re the perfect side for burgers, sandwiches, or enjoying solo with a dip.
Better yet: they’re healthier, easier, and just as addictive.

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
