Several times in my adult life I have joined Weight Watchers©. I won't get into my weight loss stats, but I was successful every time I joined the program. I was pleasantly surprised that the recipes provided were actually tasty and satisfying! WW recipes are usually very simple and I like simple! From time to time, I'll post my favorite WW recipes, but keep in mind I won't be posting Point values because the program has changed over the years and I don't have the time or energy to figure out what's changed!
These Herbed Polenta Fries are a nice alternative to traditional French fries! They are crispy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside. If you don't like rosemary and lemon, change up the seasoning! This recipe is great paired with fish, steak, burgers or on their own for a quick snack! Take them for a dip in your favorite sauce!
16 oz roll of plain polenta
1 TBSP chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Olive oil spray
Preheat broiler.
Cut polenta crosswise in half; then, working with one piece at a time, set polenta on flat end and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices. Cut slices into 1/2 inch thick strips to resemble french fries.
Spray cookie sheet with olive oil and arrange "fries" not touching on sheet and spray with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt and broil 6 inches from heat until crisp and golden, 10-15 minutes. (No need turn, but check at 10 minutes to make sure they are not burning!).
While still hot, toss with rosemary and lemon zest, seasoning to your taste!
