Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 450°F. Next, prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with a generous piece of parchment paper and lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
- 2Begin by slicing the polenta in half widthwise, followed by cutting each half lengthwise into fries that are 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the fries on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and evenly sprinkle salt over them.
