  • Olive oil
  • Coarse salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Push the Air Crisp button and allow unit to preheat

  3. For 2 lbs of fries, set the temperature to 360 F and time to 27minutes
  4. Spray olive oil over fries and sprinkle with salt and pepper

As a healthier alternative to ketchup, eat fries with hummus.
