Let's gather the ingredients!
- 1½ cups instant polenta
- 4½ cups water
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- ½ tsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Let's Begin!
In a medium-sized pot, Add water and salt, then bring it to a boil.
As soon as the water starts to boil, turn the heat down and slowly add the polenta while whisking to avoid lumps.
Keep stirring and cook for around 5 to 10 minutes. Then add the chopped herbs and a bit of pepper, and mix well.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spread the polenta in an even single layer. Let it cool down for 30 minutes to an hour.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Once the polenta is set, remove it from the tray and cut them into fries with a sharp knife.
Place the fries on a baking tray, brush them with olive oil, spread them in an even layer, and sprinkle with extra fresh herbs.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, turn them around, and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Serve hot with some dip on the side, and enjoy with family and friends!
