Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and cut the potatoes into even strips for the fries and halves for the baby potatoes. This ensures even cooking.
- Set your air fryer to 400°F and let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a crispier texture.
Cooking
- Toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Combine Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, sprinkling parmesan cheese halfway through.
- Mix baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Cook in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
- Transfer the cooked side dishes to serving plates. Garnish the potatoes with dried parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Storage
- Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
