Best Ways to Apply This Seasoning Blend
For Deep-Fried French Fries: Place the hot fries into a large bowl as soon as they finish cooking. Sprinkle on the desired amount of seasoning, and toss to combine.
For Air-Fried French Fries: Spray the fries with a light coating of avocado or olive oil, then air fry. After the fries finish cooking, toss with the desired amount of seasoning.
For Oven-Baked French Fries: After the fries finish baking, spray with a very light coating of olive oil spray using an olive oil sprayer, and toss to coat. Add the fry seasoning, and toss once more.
Storage
Place the leftover seasoning mix in an airtight container or a small glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, and store in a cabinet or pantry for up to 6 months.
