Black Pepper and Lime Fries

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

Some black pepper and a little lime juice take ordinary steak fries to delicious new heights in this easy recipe for black pepper and lime fries!

black pepper and lime fires

For me, summer cooking is all about the grill wherever possible.

Steak, chicken, seafood, corn, grilled pizza (happy happy sigh)…and since the Southern husband is an impresario at the grill, life in the summer is even better. There’s nothing like sitting on your back steps, glass of merlot in hand, watching the love of your life do the cooking.

However, it DOES entail coming up with more side dishes than I, lover of one dish cooking, am normally used to, so when one comes along that is just plain perfect, I am faithful to it FOREVER, and these fries fall into that category.  

They are both super-easy and very yummy, and pretty darn healthy, as they are the variety of fries that cook in the oven with just a drizzling of olive oil.

They involve lots and lots of black pepper, and for that extra zing, a drizzling of lime juice and some fresh grated lime peel.

Some grilled steak/chicken/seafood, some lime fries, a warm summer evening…ah yes.
