INGREDIENTS :

Polenta Fries:

• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground oregano
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for brushing
• 1 cup polenta (yellow cornmeal) (150 g)
• 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth (600 ml)

Breading:

• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp ground oregano
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup oats ground into flour (gluten-free if needed) (45 g)

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Pour vegetable broth into a pot, add all spices, sea salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.
2. Slowly add the cornmeal and whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes on low heat, then turn off the heat.
3. Pour the polenta into a baking dish, lined with parchment paper. I used a 9-inch square pan. Put the pan into the fridge for about 1 hour to set.
4. For the breading, simply put all ingredients into a small bowl and mix with a spoon.
5. Remove the cold polenta from the pan and cut it into equally sized slices. Scroll up to see the step by step pictures. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
6. Brush the polenta slices with a little vegetable oil and coat with the breading mixture.
7. Bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Flip after 25 minutes.
8. Enjoy with a dip of choice. Check the recipe notes for my garlic cashew dip recipe.
