Description

Here's the air fryer copycat version of your favorite spicy nacho fries you've been waiting for.

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 2/15 teaspoon onion powder

• 2/15 teaspoon garlic powder

• 8 ounces frozen French fries (such as Ore-Ida®)

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

• 1/2 (15 ounce) jar nacho Cheddar cheese sauce (such as Rico's®)

1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

2 Stir paprika, chili powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.

3 Pour fries into a large bowl. Drizzle vegetable oil over the fries; toss to coat. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over fries; toss until evenly coated.

4 Place seasoned fries in the basket of the preheated air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket and cook until crisp; about 3 minutes more.

5 Meanwhile, heat cheese sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Serve as a dipping sauce for the fries.
