Ingredients

For Garlic Parmesan Fries

  • Spice World Garlic (choose one)
  • 1 bag frozen french fries, unseasoned
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For Crispy Chicken

  • Spice World Garlic (choose one)
  • 1½ lbs of chicken tenders or chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Place aluminum foil in air fryer basket and preheat to 400°F. 
  2. Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels
  3. Set up a breading station: in one bowl, place the flour, and in a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Spice World Ready-To-Use Minced Garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to stay on the tender. 
  5. Lightly spray the foil covered basket with cooking spray.  
  6. Place the breaded chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them.  
  7. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. 
  8. While chicken cooks, toss the fries with avocado oil, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. 
  9. Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches), then cook for 15-20 until golden and crispy. 
  10. While the fries are cooking, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and Spice World Ready-To-Use Minced Garlic in a large bowl. 
  11. Once the fries are done, transfer them to the bowl with the Parmesan garlic mixture. 
  12. Toss until the mixture is equally distributed, then garnish with chopped parsley. 
  13. Enjoy!
