Incredibly quick and easy 5-Ingredient Baked Garlic Pepper Polenta fries! This vegan gluten-free snack or appetizer is full of healthy and crispy deliciousness!

These crispy & chewy fries are not only easy to make, they are
amazingly delicious as well. The combination of textures & flavors are such a delight to the senses!

You may just find yourself replacing your standard potato fare with these beauties (I know I did!)…

These Baked Polenta Fries with Garlic + Pepper are:

• Healthy, filling and satisfying.

• Crispy and texturally delightful.

• With the use of pre-prepared polenta, these delicious fries are super easy to make!

• Gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, sugar-free.

Tips for making Baked Polenta Fries:

• Alternatively, you can slice the pre-prepared polenta into any shape of your choosing before baking. Sometimes I slice it into cubes to make Polenta Croutons!

• Coconut and avocado oil work well as an alternative to olive oil, if preferred.

• The combo of black pepper & garlic make such a divine combo, but you can certainly toss the polenta with any spices of your choosing before baking!

• These fries are quite neutral in flavor, versatile and accommodate a variety entrees and condiments. I highly recommend experimentation!

• These store well in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat in a 400 degree oven until warmed throughout.
