Chef's tip

🥔🌿 Add fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme before cooking for extra flavor. For even crispier fries, soak the sticks in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking them. 🧄🍃

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Once cooked and cooled. Up to 3 months in freezer bags. The texture will be less crispy after thawing and reheating.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. The texture may soften.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Cut the vegetables ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge, optionally with a splash of water and lemon for the potatoes. Cook within 24 hours.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Preheated oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes or air fryer 5-8 minutes at 180°C to get the crispiness back. Microwave possible but softens the texture.

Variations

Replace some of the vegetables with sweet potato or parsnip.
Add cumin, garlic powder or herbes de Provence to the olive oil.
Serve with a yogurt and chive sauce.

Mistakes to avoid

Not drying the vegetables: they steam instead of crisping. Pat them dry thoroughly before oiling them.
Piling them on the baking sheet: they won't brown. Arrange them in a single layer.
Cutting sticks of different sizes: some burn while others stay soft.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make vegetable fries crispy?

Dry the sticks well, toss them with olive oil, arrange them in a single layer without overlapping, and flip them halfway through. About 30 minutes at 200 °C gives golden, crispy fries.

Which vegetables can you use for oven fries?

Beet, carrot and potato, as here, but also sweet potato, parsnip or celery root. Cut them into sticks of the same size for even cooking. Root vegetables hold up better than watery vegetables.

Can you make these fries without an oven?

Yes, an air fryer gives a crispy result with very little oil. Allow a shorter cooking time than in the oven and shake the basket halfway through. Keep the same seasoning of olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper.

What should you serve with these vegetable fries?

As a side with grilled meat, fish or a burger, or as an appetizer with a yogurt sauce, hummus or homemade ketchup. Serve them right away, straight out of the oven, so they stay crispy.
