Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and loaded with savory flavor, these baked polenta fries are easy to make and deliciously addictive!
- 1 (18 ounce or 510 gram) tube prepared polenta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cut your polenta in half, width-wise. Now slice each half lengthwise into 4 slabs of equal thickness, then slice each slab into 4 strips. This should give you 32 fries that are about 3 inches by ½ inch.
-
Arrange the fries on the baking sheet in a single layer, then drizzle them with the oil. Rub the oil in to evenly coat the fries.
-
Sprinkle the fries with rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Bake the fries until they're crispy and just starting to brown around the edges, about 20 minutes.
-
Let the fries cool for a few minutes, then serve.
