Ingredients

  • BBQ seasoning. Made with ingredients you more than likely already have in your pantry like garlic, onion, and chili powder, and brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.
  • Melted butter. Great for mixing with the seasoning so it sticks better to the fries.
  • Frozen waffle cut fries. I like to cook any type of frozen potato in the air fryer.

How to make BBQ seasoned waffle fries step-by-step

Start by cooking the frozen waffle fries according to the package directions.

What is the best way to cook frozen waffle fries?

I like to make waffle fries by cooking them in the air fryer at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. But most packages have several different directions for cooking like oven baked and frying in a traditional basket fryer.

Once the fries have cooked, spread them out evenly on a baking sheet.

In a small bowl mix together the seasoning ingredients.

Add the butter to a microwave-proof bowl and melt for 30 seconds in the microwave until fully melted.

Pour the seasoning into the melted butter and stir to mix.

Drizzle half of the butter over the top of the waffle fries.

Use tongs to mix the fries and coat them evenly, then drizzle with the rest of the butter mixture. Toss to coat further.
