WHAT YOU'LL NEED

EXPERT TIPS

• The Ninja Food Grill is an all-in-one appliance. It can grill, air crisp, bake, roast, and dehydrate. It comes with all the accessories you’d need for each function. Make sure to use the Crisper Basket when air frying your fries!

• How you place your fries in the basket also matters! Be sure to leave some space for air to pass through. You might also want to toss the fries from time to time to get the heat all over the fries evenly.

• They say the key to the perfect french fries is frying them twice. You can also do that with the Ninja Foodi Grill! Air fry your fries at a lower temperature and for a shorter period of time. Add your spices and seasoning. Set the air fryer to the temperature and time as indicated in the recipe.

PAIRING

• The classic drink to pair with your french fries is champagne, as it complements the salty and carb-heavy french fries really well. The bright acidity cuts through any fried food, your french fries being no exemption.

• You can eat french fries with almost anything. It’s the perfect side dish! It goes well with grilled beef burgers, barbecued pork, stir-fried beef, breaded fish, roasted chicken, and any other main course meal you could think of.

• There are a lot of dipping sauces to choose from: the classic tomato ketchup, ranch dressing, cheese sauce, mayonnaise, guacamole, mustard, salsa, beef and cheese. It’s entirely up to you.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

• If you’re up for a challenge, season your french fries with chili powder! Before turning on the Ninja Foodi Grill, sprinkle some chili powder on your fries. Spread them evenly. Make sure to grab a glass of ice cold water (or milk, if you have low tolerance for spicy food).

• Mix french fries with your veggies! Salty and crispy french fries work well with a bowl of salad. Make your salad a little bit more exciting!

• Can’t get enough cheese? Add cheddar! After frying, top the french fries with some cheddar. You could even send it back to the air fryer to melt the cheese on top of the fries!

• If you have some minced meat or bacon bits in the freezer, thaw them out. Cook it with the Ninja Foodi Grill and add them to your dipping sauce of choice!

• You can also top your fries with cooked ground beef (which is seasoned with burrito or taco seasoning) and drizzle some cheese sauce!
