Creamy polenta cut into thick fries and baked until crisp and golden, then finished with Parmesan and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (960 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (160 g) polenta (coarse cornmeal)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) grated Parmesan, divided
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped parsley
  • Marinara, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Bring the broth to a boil, slowly whisk in the polenta and cook, stirring, 10-15 minutes until thick.
  2. Stir in butter, 1/2 cup Parmesan, herbs and salt.
  3. Spread into a greased 8×8 pan and chill at least 2 hours until firm.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the polenta into fries.
  5. Brush with olive oil and bake 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and parsley and serve with marinara.

Notes

Chill the polenta overnight for the easiest cutting.
