Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unwrap the 16-18 ounces pre-cooked polenta and place it on a cutting board.
• Cut the polenta into 1/2 x 1/2 x 3-inch segments.
• Arrange the polenta pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between each piece so they are not touching.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly over the polenta pieces, then sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste over them.
• Gently toss or turn the pieces on the baking sheet so each piece is coated with oil and seasoning.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Use a spatula to flip each piece, then return to the oven and bake an additional 15–20 minutes, until the fries are golden and crispy on the edges.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
