Oven Baked Fries

With Summer quickly approaching we are also approaching the annual dilemma that comes with the perks of Summer. So little space in our shorts and so many calories to intake! Of course, it's much easier to fill up on fro yo and salads because there's one less thing to worry about, (I really believe in in S.A.D and I really have it!) but when one of the main activities of the season is attending barbecues there's not much you can do about the extra calories sneaking onto your plate.

When it's your turn to host, try these french fries and shock your friends when they find out they're not fried! (You'll be named BBQ host of the season)!

 YOU WILL NEED:
6 LARGE POTATOES, PEELED (1 AND A BIT PER PERSON)
3-4 TBSP GROUND NUT OIL
PAPRIKA POWDER
SALT AND PEPPER

Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees C or 480 F.

Cut the potatoes in to medium sized french fry shapes. Rinse the potatoes under cold water and soak for 20 minutes.

Boil the potatoes with a large pinch of salt for around 10 minutes. Drain.

Evenly spread the potatoes on a baking tray on baking parchment paper. (You may need to use two trays). Drizzle the oil on the potatoes making sure all of them have a little bit of oil on them. Sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside!

Enjoy!
