    What is french fry seasoning made of?

    There aren’t any complicated or hard to find seasonings in this recipe but when they come together, they explode with flavor:

    • Lawry’s seasoned salt - Any seasoned salt can be used if you can’t find Lawry’s.
    • Garlic salt
    • Paprika - Or use smoked paprika for added smokiness.
    • Onion and garlic powder
    • Italian seasoning - Or make your own blend using dried parsley, thyme, oregano, and basil.
    • Chili powder
    • Cracked black pepper
    • Celery salt - Feel free to omit this if the seasoning is too strong or salty for your taste

    How to make the best fry seasoning

    1. Add everything to a jar: Add all of the spices to an airtight jar and add the lid on top.
    1. Shake, then store: Shake everything together. Either use it right away or store the seasoning mix away for later.

    More ways to season your french fries

    Keep the seasoning for french fries as-is or mix it up with a few extra flavors: 

    • Spicy french fries: You can add more chili powder or add a dash of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the mix for more spice.
    • Cajun seasoning: Use a mix of paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, oregano, red chili flakes, and cayenne.
    • Garlic and parmesan: Season the fries with vegan parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast and a bit of minced garlic.
    • Italian flavor: You can use a pre-mixed Italian seasoning or substitute it for dried oregano, parsley, basil, and thyme instead. Omit the celery salt, paprika, and chili powder for true Italian flavors.

    Frequently asked questions

    What's in Lawry's seasoned salt?

    This seasoning salt is made with a mix of salt, sugar, turmeric, paprika, and onion and garlic powder. Check label as some contain msg and some do not.

    Do you season fries before or after cooking?

    Both oven baked and air fryer french fries will need to be seasoned with half of the seasoning before they’re cooked, and then with the other half after they’re cooked.

    Deep fried french fries should be seasoned right after they’re done cooking.

    How long does fry seasoning last?

    Try to use the mixture within 6 months or store it for up to 1 to 3 years. Mix the seasoning ingredients together and store them in an airtight container in your cupboard.
