Crispy Oven-Baked French Fries

I absolutely love french fries. In fact, I don't even think I know a person that doesn't like french fries. So, as you can imagine I was extremely happy to learn that (most) french fries are (typically) gluten-free. While I try to limit my fry intake (specifically the deep-fried ones), I find that baking them to be a much healthier alternative. 

Here's the recipe for my crispy baked french fries:


Ingredients:
3-4 small russet potatoes 
1 tbsp oil of choice (optional, I find them to crisp better w/out the oil)
1 tbsp garlic powder
Optional ideas: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp cayenne pepper, or 1/4 tsp salt --- get creative!


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375˚F. Rinse and scrub potatoes (I prefer to leave the skin on to preserve nutrients, but feel free to remove the potato skin). Cut potatoes into fries, to the width of your choice. Place fries onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle toppings of choice. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and flip fries over. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden-brown and crispy, like so:


Feel free to add additional toppings and dips of your choice (I'm partial to ketchup, as shown above). Enjoy!
