1 tube polenta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
cut polenta in half widthwise; cut each portion in half lengthwise. cut each section into eight strips. arrange strips in a single layer on baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.
combine oil and seasonings; drizzle over polenta strips. bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes on each size or until golden brown.
not quite as crispy as traditional fries, but a nice stand-in for those of us, a.k.a. me, who are trying to eat a little better. andy had no problem eating the majority of the pan, so if there are four or so of you, you might try doubling this one.
This is why I have trouble with your recipe journal. I had to google "polenta" as I have never heard of it. Got the wikipedia definition - still not sure I understand....

Tried these the other night and they were great! My one- and four-year old thought so, too, my three-year old, not so much! They were a little on the oily side, could be user error, but we still enjoyed them. So much so, there weren't any left for my darling husband later that night!
