Tired of the ol’ potato? Switch up your fry game with polenta – aka – cornmeal. Kind of like the French fry version of cornbread. Give it a whirl!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Tuscan Chicken Burger Seasoning or Fajita Seasoning, or seasoning of your choice
  • 3 cups water
  • olive oil

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C).
  2. In a Multipurpose Steamer, blend cornmeal with cheese and seasoning. Stir in water.
  3. Cover and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Cool completely (refrigerate if in a hurry)
  4. Turn polenta out onto a cutting board. Cut into French fry-shaped pieces. Place on a crisper, then use a basting brush to lightly brush with oil.
  5. Bake until crispy, 5 - 7 minutes.
