The Ingredients

Potatoes: Potatoes often get a bad reputation, but they’re actually packed with nutrients. They’re a great source of potassium, which helps support healthy blood pressure, and they provide vitamin C, vitamin B6, and fiber.

Potatoes are naturally fat-free and can be very filling, helping you stay satisfied longer.

Olive Oil: A small amount of olive oil helps the seasonings stick to the potatoes while promoting crispiness in the air fryer.

Olive oil contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants that support overall health. Since this recipe uses only one teaspoon, you get the benefits without adding excessive calories.

I like adding my olive oil to an Oil Sprayer. It helps to get the most out of a small amount of olive oil.

Garlic Powder: Garlic powder adds bold flavor without extra fat or calories. Garlic contains compounds that may help support heart health and immune function, making it a flavorful and nutritious seasoning choice.

Onion Powder: Onion powder enhances the savory flavor profile of the potatoes. Like garlic, onions contain antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds that can support overall wellness.

Paprika: Paprika provides a subtle smoky flavor and beautiful color. It contains antioxidants, including vitamin A-related compounds, that help protect cells from damage.

Parmesan Cheese: Paprika provides a subtle smoky flavor and beautiful color. It contains antioxidants, including vitamin A-related compounds, that help protect cells from damage.
