Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Polenta Fries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, take your prepared polenta and slice it into long, thin strips that mimic the shape of classic French fries.
Step 3
Next, give the bottom of your air fryer basket a light spritz with olive oil cooking spray to help those fries crisp up beautifully.
Step 4
Now, gently place half of the polenta strips in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd them—this will ensure they cook evenly and get that perfect crunch.
Step 5
A quick mist of cooking spray on top, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, will add just the right amount of flavor.
Step 6
Let those fries cook in the preheated air fryer for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
After that, carefully flip them over with a spatula to ensure they brown evenly, and let them continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until they reach a delightful golden brown and crispy texture.
Step 8
Once they’re done, transfer the fries to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
Step 9
Now, repeat the process with the remaining polenta fries, and soon you’ll have a delicious batch ready to enjoy! These crispy polenta fries are perfect as a snack or a side dish, and they’re sure to impress your family and friends.
Step 10
Enjoy every bite!.
