Fries and Onion Rings From Alexia Foods

I rarely buy frozen, pre-packaged goods unless it’s vegetables, fruit or pizza. When it comes to French fries, specifically, I’d much rather pick out my own potatoes, season them with my own spices, and bake them on a baking sheet for crispy oven fries – that aren’t pumped full of ingredients and chemicals I’ve never heard of.

So, when Alexia Foods reached out to me last month asking if I’d like to try some of their “all-natural, premium” fries and onion rings, I was intrigued – and somewhat skeptical.

The first Alexia Food product I tried was their Parmesan Lemon Waffle Fries, the first Alexia product to be chosen by consumers in the brand’s “Reinvent a Classic” campaign on Facebook. This product just hit stores in late February.

Despite the fairly long ingredient list, 90-95% of the ingredients were legible and “real.” I was impressed before even putting these babies in the oven.

Once they were done baking, Z and I ate them alongside our beet burgers, and I have to say – these fries were damn good. The brightness from the lemon and added saltiness from the Parmesan made these thick, crispy fries delightfully unique and tasty. 

The second and final Alexia product we tried was their panko-breaded onion rings with sea salt. The ingredient list was similarly long and legible to that of the waffle fries.

I also baked these instead of frying them, and they came out wonderfully crispy. You know how sometimes when you eat onion rings the breading just can’t hold on to that slippery onion, and your hands (and lap) end up a greasy, crummy mess? Not with these rings. I was super impressed with how well the rings stayed together, and the Spanish onion inside was perfectly sweet, which complemented the lightly salted breading beautifully.

Overall, the Alexia Foods’ products I tried were delicious and not full of scary ingredients. Although I’ll always prefer homemade to store-bought – especially when it comes to frozen goods – I would definitely buy Alexia’s products again, especially when I’m in a pinch for time.
