Ingredients In Lemon Feta Fries
- Waffle Fries: Make them how ever you prefer, this recipe is all about the sauce and cheese. You can oven bake them, air fry, deep fry, pan fry, etc.
- Olive Oil
- A Lemon: We are using it two ways for ultimate lemon flavor, zest it first then juice it.
- Spices: garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. The red pepper flakes are optional, but the kick of spice is so good!
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Feta Cheese Crumbles

How To Make Lemon Feta Fries
Make your waffle fries. I prefer to bake mine but feel free to make them however you prefer; air fry, deep fry, pan fry, etc.
Whisk up the lemon olive oil sauce: olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. I highly recommend making this sauce ahead of time and allowing it to chill in the refrigerator. This allows everything to meld together and amplifies the flavor of the sauce.
Sprinkle on cheeses and broil. Sprinkle all of the mozzarella cheese on top and only 6 ounces of feta cheese, set the remainder aside. Broil on low for 5 minutes. Just a note, broiling on high tends to char and burn the fries, yuck!
Drizzle with sauce. Make sure each of the waffle fries has a good amount of lemon olive oil sauce. You can also serve more of the sauce on the side too. Yes, it is that delicious!
Top with remaining feta cheese. Eat them while they are piping hot!

These were SO good!! The flavor in the sauce was amazing. I didn’t need the full amount of cheese, so my bag of waffle fries may have been a little smaller than normal. Thanks for a hit recipe!
Chenee,
I am so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
