The trick to making delicious crispy fries without a drop of oil

### 5. **Use a Small Amount of Cornstarch or Baking Powder**
– Before baking, lightly dust your fries with a small amount of **cornstarch** or **baking powder**. This helps create a crispy outer layer without any oil. Toss the fries in a bowl with a light coating of cornstarch to ensure even coverage.

### 6. **Seasoning Before Baking**
– Season your fries with salt, pepper, and any other spices (like garlic powder or paprika) before baking. You can also sprinkle a little **nutritional yeast** for a cheesy flavor without oil.

### 7. **High Heat, Long Enough Cooking**
– Bake your fries at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) for about 30-40 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up evenly on both sides.
– Alternatively, if you’re using an air fryer, cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.

### 8. **Optional: Finish with a Light Spray of Oil**
– If you still want that golden crispiness but don’t want to use much oil, a light misting of **cooking spray** or a spritz of **olive oil** using a spray bottle right before baking can help achieve that perfect golden finish.

### The Result:
By following these steps, you’ll end up with crispy, golden fries without a drop of oil, achieving a satisfying crunch on the outside and a soft interior.
