Ingredients

16 ounces frozen French fries
2 teaspoons olive oil

Homemade Cajun Seasoning

½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
Stir the Cajun seasoning ingredients together.
Toss the frozen French fries with olive oil in a large bowl. Add the Cajun seasoning and toss until the fries are completely coated in the seasoning mix.
Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5 minutes. Shake the basket and air fry for 5-7 more minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
In my Instant Vortex Plus 6-quart Air Fryer, standard fries cooked in 12 minutes, and shoestring fries cooked in 10 minutes.
Serve hot seasoned fries fresh from the air fryer with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For best results, air fry seasoned frozen French fries in 5-minute increments, shaking the basket in between. This helps to evenly brown all the fries and gives you a chance to check on them for doneness.

Customize the seasoning blend to your personal taste. Make it more or less salty or spicy by adjusting the quantities or add your favorite seasonings like chili powder, white pepper, or red pepper flakes.

Adjust the cooking time according to the type of fry. Thicker fries take longer to cook than thinner fries.
