Do you like fries but don’t want unnecessary calories from oil? These “fit” potato fries are baked in the oven, without a drop of fat and still wonderfully crispy. The secret is in the light egg-white coating and stronger seasoning. Great as a quick side dish or a healthy snack for movie night.

For 4 serving

Ingredients

7 large potatoes
2 egg whites
salt
ground sweet paprika
ground black pepper (or your favorite seasoning)

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into thin fries.
Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in the salt, sweet paprika, and pepper.
Place the fries in a large bowl, pour over the seasoned egg-white mixture and mix well so every piece is coated.
Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden; halfway through baking, stir/turn the fries for even cooking.
After removing from the oven, add salt if needed and serve immediately.

Servings: 4

Total preparation time: 15–20 minutes

Tips

For extra crispiness, cut the fries thinner and bake using the convection setting.
Change up the flavor: smoked paprika, garlic powder, herbs, chili.
For “parmesan style” lightly sprinkle finely grated cheese at the end of baking.

Conclusion

Oil-free fries prove that “light” doesn’t mean tasteless. Thanks to the egg-white coating they get an appealing crust and stay soft inside. They’re ready in no time, so they work well for a quick dinner or a lighter snack. Add them to your meal plan when you want to indulge without guilt.
