Fries

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Cooking Time

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

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

  2. 4

    Add Mushrooms and Peppers

    Add sliced mushrooms and diced sweet peppers to the skillet. Season with garlic powder and paprika. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Cook Plant-Based Beef

    Add the plant-based ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Assembling the Impossible Fries

  1. 6

    Combine Toppings with Fries

    Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Top the fries with the sautéed vegetable and plant-based beef mixture.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the white American cheese over the hot toppings, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the fries.

  3. 8

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the Impossible Fries hot, garnished with any additional spices or sauces of your choice, and enjoy your meal!
