Oven-baked polenta fries

(1)
"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!"

  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
