Get a taste of the bayou with your favorite side dish when you make spicy Cajun French Fries to serve with your favorite creole dishes or just a simple hamburger or hot dog.
Preheat oven to 450F or according to package directions.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine the spices and mix thoroughly.
In a large bowl, add the french fries.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cajun seasoning over the fries. Toss to coat.
Spread the french fries on the prepared baking sheet in a a single layer.
Sprinkle an additional 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning.
Bake at 450F for 20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Flip or move around half way through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Enjoy!
Notes
If you’re having trouble getting the seasoning to stick use a little bit of cooking spray first.
If you are making your own french fries make sure to soak them in water for a while to remove some of the starch and then dry them before cooking. This helps a lot with the flavor and the texture of the fries.
I also love to make battered french fries and add this cajun seasoning to the batter and then sprinkle some on after cooking.
Sprinkle 1/3-1/2 of the seasoning on the fries prior to cooking and then sprinkle the rest when cooking is finished.
