Do you have a spiralizer? I vividly remember when I got mine… we were living in Canada at the time but I had the brilliant idea to ship it to Lee since I was going to be in the U.S. the next week. What I didn’t think through was that I might not be able to take a bunch of blades into my carry-on bag onto the plane… Shout out to C’s mom for shipping my beloved spiralizer home for me! Not my most brilliant move.

It’s since moved back across the border and into two different homes. I’ll be honest, I don’t use it as much as I used to now that the craze has died down, but zoodles and curly fries are definitely my go-to when I do whip it out!

So How do You Cut Curly Fries?

You need the magic tool: a spiralizer! I have had mine for over 5 years and am still just as in love with it. You start by cutting off the ends of your potatoes so a flat surface sits between both of the spiralizer ends. Select the blade you want to use (I prefer using the one with the larger triangles and spiralize away. Easy peasy.

Now let’s chat ingredients

 

Ingredients in Baked Curly Fries

These curly fries use just a couple simple ingredients!

  • large potatoes (stick to white or russet for the best results)
  • olive or avocado oil
  • sea salt
  • fresh herbs (my go-to is rosemary)

 

Tips for Making Curly Fries

To make these curly fries you need just 3 simple things:

1. Use the right potatoes – as I mentioned, white or russet are best because they’re starchier and hold their shape better.

2. DO NOT OVERCROWD – you’ll want to split your curly fries onto two trays. The more crowded they are the less crispy they will be

3. No need to peel – Just chop and spiralize to perfection.

4. Remove crispier fries and put back in oven the ones that need more time. Not all will cook at the same time so you need to watch them carefully.

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  4. Add to a bowl and coat with olive oil or avocado oil.
  5. Spread out over two parchment-lined baking sheets. You will need to use two as you do not want to overcrowd potatoes.

*if you would like to add fresh herbs, sprinkle over fries in between baking so before you place them back in the oven for 8-10 minutes

  1. Now I need a spiralizing cutting device! I’d use this for ANYTHING–butternut squash, sweet potatoes, zucchini, beets, carrots, and kabocha squash–cook them the same way, and eat them like fries or noodles! I can totally picture this at a party with various dips–hummus or ketchup would be the best!

  2. your blog is thebomb.com thanks for the info i love curly fries and seeing as im broke a spiralizer will save me money hope you get a commission

  3. After much experimentation, I’ve found that the best way to cook zoodles is also super easy! I put the zoodles in a colander in the sink. Fill my electric teapot with water and bring to a full boil. Pour the boiling water over the zoodles and let sit for a minute. Perfect!

  4. My spiralizer was the best thing I’ve ever bought! I’m totally addicted to sweet potato fries, but will definitely be adding rosemary fries to the rotation!
