When you look at a tube of precooked polenta, you might not think French fries. That’s about to change. Turns out, this cornmeal-based staple product cuts into perfect crinkle shapes and crisps right up in an air fryer while maintaining a slightly creamy interior. Plus the polenta is sturdy enough to withstand piling in an air-fryer basket, so you can cook all four servings at once.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Fat free ready-to-eat polenta (in tube)

18 oz

Garlic powder

½ tsp

Smoked paprika

½ tsp

Chili powder

½ tsp

Kosher salt

¼ tsp

No sugar added fat free marinara sauce

½ cup(s), warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Cut the polenta in half crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 planks. Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, cut the planks into strips to form fries. Place the polenta in a large shallow dish and coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and salt and toss gently to coat.
  3. Coat the air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the polenta fries in the basket and coat with cooking spray. Cook the fries in the air fryer until crisp and browned, about 20 minutes, gently shaking the basket every 6 to 7 minutes. Serve the polenta fries with the marinara.
  4. Serving size: ¾ cup polenta fries and 2 tbsp marinara
