Baked Polenta Fries Recipe
Description
The Baked Polenta Fries Recipe uses precooked polenta cut into uniform sticks, then coated with olive oil and a simple seasoning of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Baking at a high temperature crisps the exterior while maintaining a tender interior. Flipping the fries partway ensures even browning and a lightly crunchy texture on all sides.
These fries provide a different texture and flavor compared to potato fries, showcasing the creamy corn flavor of polenta enhanced by the garlic and seasoning. They are easy to prepare and require minimal ingredients, making them a convenient side or snack option.
Serving warm is best for maintaining crispness, and they pair well with Italian-inspired dips such as marinara or creamy Caesar dressings. Their firm form holds up well during dipping and snacking.
If your notes indicate, store any leftovers properly and reheat to restore crispness. Baking on parchment paper helps prevent sticking and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 16-18 ounces polenta any flavor, pre-cooked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the cooked polenta into ½ X ½ X 3 inch segments. Place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the top, then sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. Gently toss to coat the polenta fries in oil and seasoning.
- Spread the fries out in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Then flip and bake another 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Serve baked polenta fries warm accompanied by marinara or Caesar dressing for dipping.
