We tossed our fries in our go-to vegan parmesan cheese and Italian herbs for maximum flavor and a crisp coating! Just 4 ingredients required for this comforting plant-based side. Let us show you how it’s done!
How to Make Polenta Fries
The first step to making polenta fries is to form polenta into a firm, cuttable texture. This can be done by making homemade polenta (just 1 pot & 3 ingredients!) and pressing it into a baking dish. Or for an even simpler method, you can buy pre-cooked, already-formed polenta at most grocery stores. Next, we cut the polenta into the shape of fries! And gently toss the fries in olive oil to help the seasonings stick. Italian herbs add herby flavor and vegan parmesan adds richness, saltiness, and a crispy coating. Lastly, bake until golden brown!

Enjoy them on their own or dip in your favorite sauce (such as marinara or pesto). They pair especially well as a side with Italian-inspired mains such as our Chickpea Caesar Salad, 1-Pan Tempeh Bolognese, Vegan Ricotta & Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Salad, or 1-Pot Vegan Minestrone (Gluten-Free).
