We love French fries. But we don’t like heating up the house on a hot day just to enjoy some fries. That’s where my Char-Broil Big Easy comes in. I can cook (reheat, technically) frozen fries in it just like I would indoors. I like to kick-up my fries, and these Italian herb fries on the Char-Broil Big Easy are definitely kicked-up. A little butter and a few tasty herbs and it’s time to devour some mighty tasty fries!
A Bunk Bed Makes For More Great Cooking
To make these Italian herb fries on the Char-Broil Big Easy I used a bunk bed basket. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have. I originally used a similar basket that Char-Broil has since discontinued. The bunk bed is at least as good as it was if not better!

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.
Italian Herb Fries on the Char-Broil Big Easy
Ingredients
- ½ bag French fries frozen, about 1 pound frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon dried basil slightly crushed
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano slightly crushed
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary slightly crushed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried red pepper flake
Instructions
- Fire up your Big Easy.
- Add the fries to the cooking rack, or as I do, place them in 9″ non-stick pie pans. Place into the Big Easy and cook until golden brown, 20-30 minutes. Fries towards the bottom of the rack might get done sooner, so start checking them after 20 minutes.
- Pour the fries into a large bowl.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Stir in the spices.
- Pour butter mixture over the fries and toss to coat. Note: It’s completely optional, but you can also return the fries to the Big Easy, after coating them, for about 5 minutes to get a little extra crunch on them and kind of ‘set’ the spices and butter.
- Serve.
