For extra crispy fries, consider using an air fryer! Reduce the baking time by a few minutes and check frequently. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings! Italian herbs, onion powder, or even a touch of smoked paprika would be delicious. If you don’t have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs can be used, but the texture will be slightly different.
