These fries are absolutely delicious! They’re spicy and have a kick, and are just what you need when eating my Tandoori Turkey Burgers! Plus they’re paleo and Whole30 compliant. They’re a great source of low-glycemic carbs as well. These fries are finished in just 10-15 minutes in the air fryer. They’re soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I love eating these fries with my Avocado Chutney, which cools it down a bit. If you make this, leave me a comment below. Enjoy!
