Ingredients
POLENTA FRIES
- 1 (16-oz) package polenta (or 1 batch Easy Vegan Polenta)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (to use less oil, spray to coat the fries with oil // if oil-free, omit and cook in an air fryer for best results)
- 1/4 cup Vegan Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Tbsp dried Italian herbs (basil + oregano)
FOR SERVING optional
- marinara
- Vegan Pesto
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 425 F (218 C).
- If using pre-cooked packaged polenta skip to step 4!
- If using 1 batch easy vegan polenta, follow polenta instructions and then immediately place cooked polenta in a parchment-lined 8x8-inch baking dish. Spread evenly to all corners of the dish, and your polenta should be between 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Polenta should be very firm and cold but soft enough to cut.
- Remove pre-cooked polenta from packaging or home-cooked and chilled from the refrigerator (or freezer) if you made it from scratch. Cut your polenta into rectangular fry shapes (see photo) and place in a large mixing bowl. If the polenta is crumbling and not cutting cleanly, refrigerate for 15 minutes more and then cut.
- Add olive oil and gently toss with clean hands to coat the polenta fries evenly.
- Add vegan parmesan and dried herbs to your mixing bowl and gently toss again to coat.
- Space fries evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in your preheated oven for 30 minutes. Carefully flip polenta fries halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Let fries cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet, then enjoy warm with a side of marinara sauce or pesto!
- Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375 F (190 C) until hot and golden brown.
