ingredients
- 1 cup instant polenta
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
directions
- Follow the directions on your box of polenta to prepare it. They should look something like this:.
- Bring the water and chicken broth to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add the salt, and slowly stream in the instant polenta. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes (depending on the polenta).
- Now transfer the polenta into a casserole or baking dish and spread to evenly coat (you should have a layer at least 1/2 " thick, but if it's thicker don't worry, you can always just cut the pieces in half later to thin them down). You can grease the dish if you want, but I never have a problem with it sticking.
- Let cool for at least one hour and up to 2 days in the refrigerator (it will become solid and easy to work with once cooled).
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 450, remove the polenta from the dish and cut into strips that resemble fries (I like 1/2" by 1/2" and about 3" in length).
- Place on a baking sheet and pour oil over the strips. Toss to coat and add salt or other desired seasonings at this point.
- Cook for 20 minutes in the oven, turning once halfway through. Enjoy and eat alone or serve with your favorite sauce.
