About Polenta fries

Polenta Fries are a crispy, golden snack or side dish made from cooked and cooled polenta, sliced into strips and baked or fried to perfection. Polenta itself is a versatile cornmeal-based staple originating from Italian cuisine, offering a naturally gluten-free option for those avoiding wheat. These fries are a satisfying alternative to traditional potato fries, providing a mild, slightly nutty flavor. While polenta is relatively low in fat and calories, the preparation method can impact nutritional value; baked polenta fries retain a lower fat content compared to fried versions. They are often seasoned with herbs, spices, and sometimes Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Rich in complex carbohydrates and suitable for a variety of dipping sauces, Polenta Fries can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation.
