Preparing For Crispy Polenta FriesTip: Let the polenta come to room temperature before cutting it into chips. This will help with the cutting process and ensure even slices.

Step 3: Coat The Chips


To coat the polenta chips evenly, divide them into two batches. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the first batch and gently toss to coat. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Repeat this process with the next batch.


Top Tip: Doing this in two batches ensures better coverage, allowing each polenta slice to be coated well with olive oil.
