— not only because they’re healthier, but because they’re ridiculously easy. No waiting for oil to heat up, no lingering smell, and no piles of dirty dishes.Plus, it’s so fun to experiment
— sometimes I toss them in Parmesan and garlic, other times I sprinkle Cajun seasoning or drizzle with truffle oil. The possibilities are endless.Final ThoughtsWhen I decided to make French fries in the air fryer, I didn’t expect it to be life-changing
— but in its own small, delicious way, it was. There’s something deeply satisfying about taking a comfort food classic and making it simpler, lighter, and just as crave-worthy.Now, whenever that fry craving hits (and let’s be honest, it hits often), I know I can have perfectly crispy fries in minutes
— no guilt, no mess, just pure, golden-brown happiness.So if you’ve been on the fence about trying it, consider this your sign: make the fries. You’ll never look back.
