Powerhouse Polenta Fries
- Olive oil spray (from a spray bottle, not a store-bought, prefilled one that contains propellant; I used a Misto)
- 1 (18-ounce) tube prepared polenta (look for it with the pasta or tomato sauce in many major grocery stores or at Trader Joes)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Ketchup or low-fat marinara sauce, preferably low-fat and lower-sodium, optional
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Place a large piece of parchment on a large baking sheet and lightly mist it with spray.
- Cut the polenta in half crosswise, and then cut each half lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick fries.
- Place the fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer so they do not touch.
- Mist the tops with spray, then lightly sprinkle them evenly with salt.
- Bake them for 15 minutes.
- Carefully flip the fries, then mist the tops with spray and salt them.
- Continue baking an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fries are lightly crisped and golden brown.
- Serve immediately with ketchup or marinara sauce, if desired.
