Treat your ingredients with care...

Roggebrood — To achieve the best texture, use a dense and thinly sliced roggebrood. If you can't find roggebrood, you can try using a dense rye bread as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the fries before baking.
Experiment with different seasonings such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or dried herbs to customize the flavor of your rye bread fries.
Serve the fries with a variety of dipping sauces like garlic aioli, spicy ketchup, or tangy barbecue sauce.
To make the fries extra crispy, place them on a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation during baking.
If you prefer a softer texture, you can lightly toast the roggebrood slices before cutting them into fries.
