Indulge in thick polenta oven chips—crispy outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside. Perfect as a snack or paired with zesty tomato relish. Simple to make with any cup or mug for measuring. Adjust salt to taste.
Ingredients for 4 people 📌:
🌽 polenta – 1 cup
🍗 chicken stock – 2 cups
💧 water – 1 cup
🧀 parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup, grated
🧈 butter – 2 tablespoons
🧂 salt – to taste
🔥 cooking spray
Steps 🔥:
🧀 In a large pan, bring the water and stock to a rolling boil.
🧀 Whisk constantly, add the polenta all at once in a steady stream.
🧀 Reduce the heat and cook, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes or until really thick.
🧀 Be careful as thick polenta tends to ‘erupt’ like a volcano if left unattended. Keep stirring, being careful not to burn the bottom.
🧀 Stir in the cheese and butter, then season with salt.
🧀 Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add any additional ingredients if desired.
🧀 If the polenta is really thick, it is ready to pour into a square dish lined with cling film.
🧀 Once cold, it will be set and firm.
🧀 Set the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Turn out the polenta, remove cling film, and cut into thick chips.
🧀 Arrange on a baking tray lined with foil and sprayed generously with cooking spray.
🧀 Coat the chips with plenty of spray and bake for 20-40 minutes, or until crisp and browned. Turn over once during cooking and spray again if necessary.
🧀 The cooking time will depend on the size you cut them.
🧀 Enjoy these delicious and unique polenta chips!
