These crispy polenta fries only require pre-made polenta, Cajun seasoning, olive oil, and a little salt. They taste fantastic warm out of the oven but are equally delicious cold. Polenta fries have fewer carbohydrates than potato-based fries, making them a healthier option. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce, such as a basic aioli or ketchup.

Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 356 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Delicious. Followed the recipe exactly. My husband loved them. The less oil, the crispier. Made the whole loaf of polenta in two batches, tossed the first in for a minute at the end of the second batch’s cooking. Will make again- May try different seasonings.
