Pre-made polenta, Cajun seasoning, olive oil, and a little salt are all you need for these crispy polenta fries. They are great right out of the oven but also good cold. Polenta fries are a healthier alternative than fries made from potatoes; they have fewer carbs. Serve with a simple aioli, ketchup, or desired dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh polenta, flavorful spices, and a crispy coating will all contribute to the best possible Cajun polenta fries.
  • Don't overcook the polenta. It should be cooked through but still have a slightly soft center.
  • Use a generous amount of seasoning. Cajun spices are known for their bold flavor, so don't be afraid to add plenty to your polenta fries.
  • Coat the polenta fries evenly in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help them get nice and crispy in the air fryer.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you do, the fries won't cook evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking. This will help the fries cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the polenta fries with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or marinara sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Air-fried Cajun polenta fries are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give these air-fried Cajun polenta fries a try. You won't be disappointed!
