I love to cut my oven fries really thin so they get nice and crispy! I enjoyed the flavors of paprika and cumin. Thanks!

Love the recipe! I just needed to slice them much larger than I thought & leave them in the oven longer to crisp.

This recipe turned out great! I cook with a convection oven and put the timer on 35 minutes. Next time I will leave the fries in a bit longer as they did not turn out as crisp as I would have liked to have seen them.

We really like this spice combination! Ours didn't crisp up too much either, but DH likes them better that way. Thanks for a great easy recipe, nice change from a potato or rice side.
