Baked Polenta Fries

I went to the pantry to get some cornmeal and was out, so I used the ready made organic polenta from Trader Joe's.

1 tube ready made polenta

olive oil

smoked paprika

sea salt

Preheat oven to 425F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.

Cut the tube of polenta in half and then each half lengthwise and then cut lengthwise again. Cut into fingers and lightly brush with olive oil ( a mister would be great). Sprinkle with smoked paprika. Bake in the oven about 20 minutes, turn fries and sprinkle with more paprika. Bake another 15-20 minutes, the fries will be crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt.

Dip:

2 Tablespoon Veganaise

2 Tablespoon Ketchup

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

dash of hot sauce

fresh ground pepper (to taste)

Mix all together well and refrigerate until used.
