1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to the recommended temperature for roasting vegetables. 2. Peel and cut your chosen vegetable into fry-like shapes, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking. 3. Toss the vegetable fries in olive oil or avocado oil, making sure each piece is lightly coated. 4. Season the fries with your preferred spices, ensuring an even distribution for maximum flavor. 5. Place the seasoned fries on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer to promote even cooking. 6. Roast or air fry the fries according to the recommended time and temperature, flipping them halfway through to ensure they crisp up evenly. 7.
