Ingredients
Scale
Polenta Fries
- 18 oz (500g) Polenta log
- a pinch Salt
- a pinch Pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prep the Polenta: Cut the polenta log into fry-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
- Season and Coat: Spray the polenta fries evenly with olive oil spray or drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Air Fry: Arrange the polenta fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
- Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dip.
Notes
- Ensure polenta fries are spaced out in the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking and crisping.
- Use olive oil spray to lightly coat the fries for a healthier option, but drizzling with olive oil works as well.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking is crucial to prevent sticking and to achieve an even golden texture.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
