Polenta Fries

Here is a great way to use up leftover polenta (the kind that comes in a tube).

Polenta Fries
Adapted from: Whole Living Magazine May 2011
Yield: 1 tube makes enough fries for 3-4 people

Ingredients:
Polenta (prepared in a tube)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Slice polenta into large sticks, about 1/2 inch thick. 
3. Toss  the polenta slices with the olive oil to coat.  Season with salt and pepper.
4. Roast on a baking sheet, rotating the tray once, until golden and crispy.  This will take about 30-35 minutes depending on thickness of fries.

Notes:
-Try to make the fries as uniform as possible.  I failed at this and my results suffered because of it.
- These fries have an excellent crunchy texture when finished and a flavor reminiscent of popcorn.  Enjoy with mustard!
