Karen’s Oven Fries! Three Recipes: Seasoned Russets, Celeriac and Sweet Potatoes
My go-to weeknight staple… oven fries! Crispy and tender inside – cooks quickly and perfectly seasoned.
Unlike fried potatoes -oven fries retain their vitamins and minerals
Sazón Seasoned Russet Oven Fries:
Crispy and Full Of Flavor – Toss with a little EVOO and my seasonings for the ultimate Oven Fries!
Delicious Option: adding Parmesan & Parsley.
HINT: like them skinny or fat sized? Totally works – just keep the cut size consistent so they cook evenly. Cooking times will vary…
A fabulous versatile seasoning blend with a Cuban-kick. Perfect for vegetables, rice, beans, legumes, poultry, meat and veggies proteins.
I love to make my OWN Seasoning Blends! Especially because so many have unwanted ingredients (see below) and too much sodium.
I add sea salt in pinches to the seasoning.
Sazón Ingredients: Includes some of the unhealthiest & worst ingredients!
Monosodium glutamate, salt, dehydrated garlic, cumin, yellow 5, tricalcium phosphate (an anti-caking agent), coriander, annatto (color), red 40
Cajun Seasoned Celeriac Fries:
A fabulous low-carb alternative with a nutty-celery flavor. Roasted to perfection with crispy edges and just the right amount of heat.
- Celeriac is like a root vegetable, yet the root of a celery plant – a bulbous veggie about the size of a grapefruit
- Also known as Celery Root and Knob Celery
- Celeriac may be roasted, stewed, or blanched, and may be mashed
- Taste: celery-like flavour, with nutty overtones
The most flavorful Cajun Seasoning Blend with a nice spicy kick!

Salt-free ~ add salt when needed.
Sweet Potato Fries:
Seasoned, Roasted and Tossed in Garlic, Butter and Parsley. Not loaded with fat – these are crispy and seasoned well!
Add the Garlic-Butter Topping and Parsley just before you serve them.
Mix all together and roast in the oven at 400 degrees until golden – turn over once until cooked through and crispy. Just before serving coat with the Garlic-Topping and scatter with lots of chopped parsley. Delish & lightened-up with minimal fat and intense flavors.
Benefits of Oven Fries:
- Oven Fries are lower in Fat and Calories
- They are less messy – no splattering oil to heat
- Easier to prepare! Simply cut potatoes, toss with a small amount of oil and some seasonings, bake and sprinkle with sea salt
- You can cook with healthy fats; extra virgin olive oil! – compared with eating French fries out (McDonald’s uses canola oil and hydrogenated soybean oil, both GMO’s)
I hope you enjoy and make these wonderful Oven Fry Recipes!
