Step 1
Gently heat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Spread the fries out on a baking sheet in a single layer and pop them in the oven. Let them bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. Once they’re out, sprinkle a little salt over them while they’re still warm.
Step 2
Divide the fries onto plates and drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce. Scatter some red onion, banana peppers, olives, and tomatoes on top, then crumble over some feta cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
Serving Options To Try
Serve with a dollop of garlic yogurt sauce or tzatziki for a refreshing contrast. They also go well with grilled meats, fresh salads, or as a side to your favorite Mediterranean dishes. Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta and chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to help restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
