Polenta Fries [Vegan]
Realistically speaking, polenta is not a nutritional powerhouse. It’s simply made from cornmeal and cornmeal doesn’t have a lot to offer, in regards to nutrition. However, in comparison to the traditional fried potato french fries, polenta fries are leaps and bounds healthier.

Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low and add cornmeal mix to water and quickly but carefully whisk for 4-5 minutes, or until mixture begins to thicken. Mixture should be smooth, without large chunks.
