Ingredients
- 1 (18-ounce) package of pre-cooked polenta
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning (or rosemary/ your choice of seasonings

- Remove the polenta from its packaging and pat dry. Slice into bite-sized fries, keeping them uniform in size.
- In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Working in batches, gently toss 4–5 fries at a time in the oil mixture to coat evenly.
- Place the coated fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
- Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve hot. Add more salt to taste, if desired.
Notes
- For the crispiest polenta fries: Thinner fries will be crispier, as they have less creamy middle. Also, don’t skip the oil or overcrowd the fries in the air fryer (to ensure airflow).
- Cooking time varies: Based on your air fryer. Adjust as needed.
- Experiment with flavors: Just like regular fries, these air fryer polenta fries are truly versatile – so have fun playing with herbs and seasonings.
