Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Peri Peri Fries:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, peri peri seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
Spread the fries out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

2️⃣ Prepare the Fish Fingers:

Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
Dip each fish strip first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish fingers in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3️⃣ Heat the Beans:

In a small saucepan, heat the baked beans over medium heat.
Stir in the black pepper and dried thyme. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

4️⃣ Serve:

Arrange the fish fingers, peri peri fries, and beans on plates. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor!

Notes

For extra crispiness, double-coat the fish fingers by dipping them in the egg and breadcrumbs a second time.
Adjust the spice level of the peri peri seasoning according to your preference.
