Description

Oven Baked Harra Fries are a flavorful twist on classic French fries, coated in a spicy blend of garlic, paprika, cayenne, and coriander, then baked until crispy. Finished with a fresh lemon juice toss, garlicky toum sauce, and sprinkled parsley, these fries make a perfect snack or side dish bursting with Middle Eastern-inspired flavors.

Ingredients

Fries and Seasoning

  • 1 bag (24 oz) frozen thick-cut fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/3 cup garlic sauce (Lebanese toum)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet inside while it heats to ensure it’s hot when the fries are ready to bake.
  2. Toss Fries with Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the frozen fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, ground coriander, and salt until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Carefully line the hot baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and spread the seasoned fries out in a single layer, ensuring even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Bake Fries: Bake the fries for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and a crispy texture on all sides.
  5. Toss with Lemon Juice: Once baked and golden, remove the fries from the oven and immediately toss them with fresh lemon juice to add a bright, tangy flavor.
  6. Add Garlic Sauce and Parsley: Drizzle the fries generously with garlic sauce (Lebanese toum) and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
  7. Serve: Serve the Harra Fries hot, as a delicious snack or side that showcases bold Middle Eastern flavors.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the fries are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • You can adjust the cayenne pepper quantity to make the fries more or less spicy depending on your preference.
  • Lebanese toum (garlic sauce) can be substituted with a garlic aioli or mayonnaise with minced garlic if you don’t have toum.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice herbal note, but you can also try cilantro or mint for a different twist.
  • These fries are best enjoyed immediately to maintain their crisp texture.
