The Ultimate Vegan Chili Cheese Fries
Who doesn't love a big platter of chili cheese fries? I know I do and my son Izzy and I both were super excited when I announced that I was going to use my leftover chili from my Smokey Lentil Chili recipe that I posted the other day to make chili cheese fries. In fact, the anxious little fingers that you see in one of the pictures below belongs to Izzy. Sometimes he can't wait for me to take a picture so that he can get a taste. These are just a bag of our Favorite Handsome Cut Fries from Trader Joe's that I cooked in my air fryer (I use a Philips XXL air fryer), then topped with chili and a cheese sauce that I made using the Whole Foods 365 Plant Based Cheddar Alternative and sprinkled with fresh green onion!Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
This is the brand of cheese I used for this recipe. The Whole Foods 365 brand is one of my favorite vegan cheeses.
These Trader Joe's Handsome Cut fries are favorites in my house. They are as close to hand cut french fries as you can get. If you haven't seen My Favorite's From Trader Joe's list make sure you check it out.
Izzy couldn't wait to get his hands on these!
Here's another cool way to use the chili and cheese sauce recipes......Add it to baked potatoes!
This is the Philips Air Fryer that I use!!

I love how fun and relatable this chili cheese fries story is, especially the excitement of waiting for that first bite! Using leftover chili is such a tasty and practical idea, and the fresh green onion sounds like the perfect finishing touch. I’d happily enjoy these fries after a round of Slope Rider when I need a delicious snack break.
