Nori-Sesame Waffle Fries

Makes 2 to 4 servings

These crispy waffle fries are savory and packed with umami flavor.

Ingredients

10 toasted seaweed snack sheets (nori)

1½ tablespoons toasted white sesame seeds

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

¾ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 pound frozen waffle fries

Spicy mayonnaise, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Combine the seaweed snacks, sesame seeds, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse until the nori and sesame seeds are a fine powder. Alternatively, you can use a mortar and pestle.
  2. Add the waffle fries to the air fryer basket, shaking to distribute evenly. Place the basket in the air fryer. Select French Fries, and then press Start/Stop. When alerted, shake the basket to toss the fries, and replace the basket to finish cooking.
  3. When done, place the fries in a bowl. Toss with the nori-sesame seasoning and serve immediately. Serve with spicy mayonnaise for dipping, if desired.
