I\u2019m no stranger to non-traditional fries. Most of the time, they\u2019re a sneaky way to eat more veggies (like these carrot fries<\/a> and baked zucchini fries<\/a>). This time, I\u2019m trading this creamy polenta with mushrooms<\/a>, sliceable spinach polenta pie<\/a>, and fluffy jalapeno cornbread<\/a> for crispy polenta fries.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re delicious, surprisingly easy to make (especially with pre-cooked polenta), and endlessly customizable with your favorite seasonings. They\u2019re also packed with complex carbs, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help keep you full for longer. Plus, since they\u2019re baked, not fried, they use way less oil.<\/p>\n
