Crispy Baked Polenta Fries
These Crispy Baked Polenta Fries are such a fun appetizer! Creamy cheese-laced polenta is spread in a pan, baked and then cut into “fries.” They’re brushed with olive oil, baked and served with a spicy tomato dipping sauce. Creamy on the outside, crispy on the outside, and completely addictive.
