Polenta Fries

Ingredients

  • 1 cup instant polenta (+ 6 Tbsp for coating)
  • 1 litre vege stock
  • 50g parmesan cheese (+ sprinkle for serving)
  • Salt & pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh basil
  • Aioli or other sauce to serve (not necessary)

Method

  1. In a large pot bring the vege stock to the boil.
  2. Once boiling add polenta, stirring continuously for 2 mins until nice and thick.
  3. Remove pot from the heat, add parmesan and season to taste. Stir well.
  4. Line a tray with baking paper and spread the polenta out until 2cm thick (we prefer chunky, thicker fries)
  5. Cool in fridge for 1 hour to set
  6. Preheat oven to 220. Line a new oven tray with baking paper and lightly drizzle with oil.
  7. Once polenta has set in the fridge, cut polenta into chip-sized pieces and coat with fresh polenta.
  8. Spread evenly on tray and drizzle oil over.
  9. Cook for 30 mins, turning half way. Want them golden and crunchy.
