Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 26 ounce (737 g) bag of frozen fries
  • Cajun seasoning (such as Slap Ya Mama), to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 °F (204 °C) if necessary according to your model’s instructions.
  2. Arrange the Fries: Place the frozen fries in a single, even layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Air Fry the Fries: Cook the fries for 8 minutes at 400 °F, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
  4. Season the Fries: Immediately after removing the fries from the air fryer, generously season them with Cajun seasoning while they are still hot so the seasoning adheres well.

Notes

  • You can also bake the fries in your oven by spreading them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and baking at 400 °F on the top rack until crisp and golden to your preference.
  • Shaking the fries halfway through cooking helps achieve even crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your spice preference.
