• 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.
