Air Fryer Crispy Polenta Fries
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package prepared polenta
  • nonstick olive oil cooking spray
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Slice the polenta into long, slender strips that evoke the appearance of French fries. This will help you achieve a uniform cooking time.
3
Lightly coat the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray, ensuring a non-stick surface for easy removal.
4
Place half of the polenta fries in the basket, followed by a gentle misting of cooking spray on top. This will enhance crispiness and prevent sticking.
5
Season the fries with a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out their natural flavors. Be cautious not to over-season, as this can quickly become overpowering.
6
Cook the fries in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes, or until they begin to show signs of crispiness.
7
Using a spatula, carefully flip the fries over and continue cooking until they reach your desired level of crispiness. This may take an additional 5 minutes.
8
Transfer the cooked fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess moisture and promote crispiness.
9
Repeat the process with the remaining half of fries, ensuring both batches are cooked to perfection.
