Fries

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    While the fries are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, sweet bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

  2. 4

    Add Plant-Based Beef

    Add the plant-based ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with garlic powder and paprika. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is heated through and flavors meld.

Assembling the Impossible Fries

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Top the fries with the cooked plant-based beef and vegetable mixture.

  2. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Sprinkle the white American cheese evenly over the top. Return the loaded fries to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra diced peppers or a drizzle of your favorite sauce if desired.
