The toaster oven is a convenient appliance for those days when you don't need to prepare large portions of food, or you'd rather not heat up the entire kitchen with your oven. It is essentially a smaller, countertop version of your regular oven, albeit less powerful, making it ideal for cooking items at low to medium-high temperatures. The toaster oven works well for waffle fries, and most other types of fries, whether you pick up a bag of precooked frozen fries from the grocery store or make your own from scratch.

Frozen Waffle Fries

Step 1

Preheat the toast over to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Spread the frozen waffle fries in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet. Make sure it is small enough to fit in your toaster oven.

Step 3

Bake the waffle fries for 10 minutes, then flip the fires and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the fries are as crispy and golden as you prefer. Enjoy them hot, right out of the toaster oven.

Uncooked Waffle Fries

Step 1

Preheat the toaster oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Toss your fresh, uncooked waffle fries lightly in olive oil, then toss with seasonings of your choice, such as salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.

Step 3

Spread the seasoned waffle fries on a non-stick baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 4

Bake the waffle fries in the toaster oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Flip the fries and continue cooking from another 10 to 15 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
