Loaded Vegan Kimchi Fries
Loaded Vegan Kimchi Fries – crispy fries, sriracha mayo and zesty kimchi all topped off with tons of fresh cilantro and green onions.
I have always been a kimchi fan – and when I went vegan I thought I was going to be out of luck when it comes to enjoying this spicy snack. BUT, luckily, finding vegan kimchi hasn’t been as hard as I thought.
I’ve found it at my local grocery store as well as Whole Foods. You could also make your own – but I went with the store-bought stuff.
Kimchi is spicy, tangy and makes for an amazing topping for fries!
To make this recipe even easier, I also opted for frozen waffle fries. Again, you could make your own, but we are going for easy today.
To give these fries even more flavor I also added some of the Sriracha Mayo I shared with you a couple weeks ago. Another layer of spice and deliciousness.
Finally top these off with your favorite greens – I went with a healthy handful of cilantro and green onions. Give everything a squeeze of fresh lime juice and you are in fry heaven!
These would be a perfect game day snack – grab a few forks and share the plate.
