Can you keep a secret? Pinky promise?

I like to snack. Like a lot. I actually think snacking is my favourite hobby. I mean after writing this blog, of course.

So, from the self designated queen of snacking, I’m going to share one of my best kept secrets with you all. These are the best vegan french fries. Ever. Period. That’s all. The End.

Okay, have a great day!

Oh good, you stuck around! I almost forgot to give you the secret recipe to this all time best snack ever. Don’t worry though, I’m not going to leave you hanging.

Keeping up with our Super Easy Sunday posts, I thought this amazing recipe for the best vegan french fries was only appropriate. Cause I mean, who doesn’t like snacking? If you’re one of those few people who actually doesn’t like snacking, you should probably just stop reading now. I have a suspicion that I had you at french fries though, didn’t I? 😉

These french fries are incredibly easy to make, require no unusual preparation, are crispy, crunchy and perfect for dunking in all sorts of dips or topping with with favourite french fry toppers. Vegan Poutine? Salsa and guacamole? You get the idea 🙂 One of these things that truly makes these the best vegan french fries is the fact that you can spice them up to your heart’s content. My personal favourite is sea salt and fresh ground peppercorns but you could sprinkle these with rosemary and garlic, cajun spice, garam masala, or even a little cinnamon sugar if you really wanted to get all up and crazy with these fries. Can you tell we like to experiment in the kitchen?

But seriously guys, you need to make these. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t make their own french fries due to the fact that you think it takes too long or that there’s too much prep work involved, these fries are going to change your life. I mean, they’re called the best vegan french fries for a reason!

Now I need to give credit where credit is due – my husband came up with this recipe. Yes, friends – in addition to being the king of soup, he is also the king of the best vegan french fries. I really need to get around to buying him a crown one of these days. We use Yukon Gold Potatoes to make the best vegan french fries but regular white potatoes would work just as well.

The success of these french fries lies in two very important steps: 1. Cutting the fries into thick matchsticks, approximately 1/4″ x 1/4″ and 2. Not overloading the baking tray. As long as you stick to these two steps, the best vegan french can be yours to enjoy in just 30 short minutes!  And, you don’t even need to worry about flipping or rotating these while they bake – yay for super easy Sundays!!

So not only are you going to end up with a plate full of these amazing french fries in an excitingly short amount of time, but in the time that these yummy snacks are baking, you can get all sorts of fun extra-curriculars completed too. You can do some yoga, plan some other snacks, eat some of that awesome cheesecake you made earlier in the week or even start your own food blog. The opportunities are limitless! So make me one last promise before we part ways today?

Promise me that you will make the best vegan french fries for yourself. I know you’ll love them and, if you’re anything like me, find all sorts of excuses to eat them for every meal. Whoops, you bought a 25lb bag of potatoes by mistake? Looks like it’s time for the best vegan french fries for three square meals a day! 😉
