“Healthier Homemade Wingstop Cajun Fries: Oven-Baked Perfection with Bold Flavors”

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into wedges (or fries, if you prefer) and place them in a large bowl.
Season the Fries: Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss them to coat evenly. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss them again until they are evenly coated.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they are not overcrowded. This will allow them to crisp up nicely.
Bake the Fries: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking to ensure they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Serve: Once the fries are crisp and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
