"Any fries lovers here? I’m sure that most of you have already tried the sweet potato, beetroot or even parsnip version but what about polenta fries? It’s apparently an Italian store cupboard staple but I feel like it’s not very popular here which is a shame as it is truly delicious! To prove it I’m bring you over-baked polenta fries! They are extremely easy and quick to prepare (just use ready-made polenta), hearty and healthy (I went for baked version, not fried), super comforting, nicely crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside! You can also make them gluten free. They are an incredible appetizer, awesome, easy to make snack or delicious dinner side. Trust me, you really have to give them a go!"

ingredients
- 3 cups cooked polenta, spread on a sheet tray and chilled
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons GF oat flour or breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon of your chosen herbs like rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes
Method
Step 1
Slice the polenta into fries (make sure that they are quite equal in size) and spread them out on a tray/wooden board.
Step 2
Pre-heat your oven to 400F. Make the breading by simply combining the flour with nutritional yeast and your chosen herbs.
Step 3
Spray a tiny bit of oil on the fries, then coat with the breading. Place fries on a baking tray with baking paper on it and bake for around 30-40 minutes or until golden brown (flip them once half way through). Serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips.
