Ingredients

  • A drizzle of olive oil (measuring 2 tablespoons)
  • A hint of Cajun seasoning (measuring ½ teaspoon)
  • Freshly cut polenta from a portion of the package (18 ounces), sliced into 3/4-inch wedges
  • A sprinkle of salt to suit your taste buds

Step 1

Get ready to cook up a storm by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 356 degrees F (180 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together some oil and zesty Cajun seasoning to create a flavorful blend. Gently brush this seasoned oil onto your polenta wedges using a pastry brush, and don't forget to sprinkle a touch of salt for that extra kick. Now, place these seasoned beauties into the air fryer's bowl, arranging them slightly overlapping if necessary.

Step 2

Let the magic happen as you cook these wedges in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Carefully flip them over with a soft silicone spatula, and continue cooking. Remember to give the basket a shake now and then, and use the spatula to unstick any wedges, until they turn gloriously crispy in about 15 to 20 more minutes. Enjoy the crunchy goodness!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your Cajun seasoning blend in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and bold flavor.
  2. 2. Store your polenta fries in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together and losing their crispy texture.
