Ingredients
- 1 cup polenta
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Polenta: In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly, and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Season the Polenta: Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese, if using. Pour the mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper and spread evenly. Allow to cool completely and set for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut the Fries: Once the polenta is set, cut it into fry-sized strips.
- Bake the Fries: Arrange the polenta fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Prepare the Truffle Aioli: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, truffle oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve: Once the fries are baked, serve them hot with the truffle aioli on the side, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
