Preheat for the perfect crunch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although some air fryer recipes say you don\u2019t need to preheat, this is a crucial step. Starting with a hot chamber means your fries immediately begin to crisp up instead of gradually heating, which helps achieve that desired golden brown color. If your air fryer doesn\u2019t have a preheat function, <strong>simply run it at your desired temperature for about five minutes before adding your fries<\/strong>. It will make a difference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Give_them_a_light_spritz_of_oil\"><\/span>2. Give them a light spritz of oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best things about air fryers is that they use much less oil than deep frying. However, using a bit of oil at the beginning will help with that golden exterior you are looking for. Before you load your frozen fries into the air fryer basket, <strong>give them a very light mist of cooking oil, like olive or canola<\/strong>. This will help seal in moisture and the fries will brown more evenly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dont_overcrowd_the_basket\"><\/span>3. Don\u2019t overcrowd the basket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you\u2019re hungry and just want to make a big batch of fries all at once. But adding too many fries into the air fryer basket may lead to disaster. Air fryers work by circulating hot air around the food, so if your fries are piled on top of each other, they\u2019ll steam rather than crisp up.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure even cooking, <strong>lay your fries in a single layer and leave a little space between them<\/strong>. You might need to cook in batches, but the extra effort will pay off with crispier fries.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Shake_the_basket_for_even_cooking\"><\/span>4. Shake the basket for even cooking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Halfway through cooking, <strong>it\u2019s time to give your air fryer basket a good shake<\/strong>. This step ensures that all sides of the fries are exposed to the hot air and cooked evenly. When you pull out the basket, shake it vigorously, and then spread the fries back into a single layer before popping them back in. This will help avoid any undercooked spots and will guarantee a tasty crunch on every fry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enjoy_your_perfect_frozen_french_fries\"><\/span>Enjoy your perfect frozen french fries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By following these four simple rules\u2014preheating, using a bit of oil, avoiding overcrowding, and shaking for even cooking\u2014<strong>you\u2019ll have crispy and delicious fries every time<\/strong>.
