I nuke them in the microwave for 5-10 mins depending on the size of the potato, leave to cool for a couple of mins and then place each on a large spoon.

Cut through the potato to create the gaps until you hit the spoon, the spoon stops you cutting all the way through the potato. Spray with fry-lite (sprinkle or stuff with herbs/garlic/lemon or anything else you're using) and then finish off in the oven for about 20 mins or so until golden.

Thanks for that I will have to give them another go this weekend, they were really tasty, have you tried the other Fry-lite flavours the BBQ one is really nice it might go well with the hasslebacks

 

[Purplebint]

I use the olive oil and sunflower frylights, I haven't tried the buttery one yet but that's on the list for the next time I do a supermarket shop. Not sure if I'd use the BBQ one, I use liquid smoke a lot which is the same sort of flavour but without the oil

Hi, how do you make your bns garlicky fries?? They sound delish x

 

[Purplebint]

Like this - Baked Garlic Curry Fries | Post Punk Kitchen | Vegan Baking & Vegan Cooking but I leave out the oil and use an egg in the mixture instead. The lovely Keldelacoe does the potatoey ones and hers looked so good I had to try them myself.

I don't parboil the BNS like I would potatoes, just peel, halve, slice into chip shapes and microwave on full for about 5 minutes and then leave to cool a little before coating in the mixture

Yayy thats fab! Ive had a nightmare month and basically gone a whole month staying the same grrrrr!
Might have to look at possibly mixing it up and trying red days rather than ee, what plan u doing hun?

 

[Purplebint]

Well, I gained a bit, lost a bit, gained a bit and lost again this month. So I ended up a whole 1/b lighter at the end of the month than I started, heh. It was my brain sabotaging me though, I'm back on plan now.

I do extra easy, I did try red/green a couple of times but found them too confusing/restrictive. I prefer EE as it's the closest to 'normal' eating for me.
