Polenta Fries
Our baked Polenta Fries make a delicious appetizer or can be served as a delicious side dish. They're crisp on the outside and slightly creamy on the inside. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce! They’re crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside and best of all, they’re baked! We love serving them as a appetizers because they’re so snackable, but they also make a really delicious side dish for simple dinners like Oven Baked Chicken Thighs, Spatchcock Chicken and Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Brisket!
Polenta Fries can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Once fries have baked, cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 2 days.
To reheat, pat fries dry with a paper towel. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line fries onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until heated through and fries crisp back up. Immediately top with grated Parmesan and serve.
