This is a first for me. I’ve never eaten polenta at home, but I’ve ordered it in restaurants. I decided to try making polenta fries, but the easy way . . .
This is certainly an ideal way to make fries: crack open a polenta log, slice, season, and bake!
INGREDIENTS:
1 tube of polenta
1/8 C olive oil
2 Tbs truffle oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450. Combine the two oils in a small dish. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with some of the oil mixture. Slice the polenta into 1/2″ slices.
Then cut each slice into thirds.
Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the oil mixture; season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway through. Enjoy!

That is such a creative use of polenta. I will have to try this!
I’ve read a couple recipes using Polenta, but never thought of fries. I’m going to have to try this, they look good (and healthy).
OH and I’m pinning this!
