Baked polenta fries are a great twist on traditional french fries. Polenta is cooked cornmeal, which is naturally gluten-free. While you can make your own cornmeal from scratch, this recipe calls for ready-made, shelf-stable polenta. This easy recipe can complement dinner any night of the week. Why not bake some up tonight?!

Ingredients
- 1 tube (18 ounces) plain prepared polenta
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425 F.
- Remove the plastic sleeve from the polenta. Cut the polenta in half crosswise. Cut each half in half length wise. Cut each polenta wedge into french-fry size strips.
- Place the polenta fries on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray (or cover the cookie sheet with parchment paper). Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the fries.
- Bake for 15 minutes and then turn them over. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown and crisp.
