What Makes This Recipe So Good
These fries are a delicious twist on a classic snack, offering a crispy exterior with a creamy inside. They cook quickly in the air fryer, making them a healthier alternative to deep-fried options. Plus, the Cajun seasoning adds a bold and spicy kick that’s hard to resist.
Helpful Cooking Tips
- Make sure the polenta is fully set and chilled before cutting to help the fries hold their shape.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping on all sides.
- Lightly spray the fries with oil before air frying for a golden, crunchy texture.

Directions
Warm your air fryer to 356°F (180°C). In a small bowl, mix together some oil and Cajun seasoning. Use a pastry brush to coat the polenta wedges with this spicy oil, then sprinkle a little salt over them. Arrange the wedges in the air fryer basket, letting them overlap just a bit if needed. Cook them for about 10 minutes, then carefully flip each piece using a silicone spatula. Keep cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, giving the basket a good shake now and then and using the spatula to loosen any wedges that might be sticking. Cook until they’re nice and crispy.
Serving Ideas
Serve these fries with a cool dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli to balance the spicy flavor. They also pair well with grilled meats or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Add a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of brightness.
Storage Suggestions
Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
