2、Ingredients Preparation
- 2 cups of cold polenta (leftover polenta)
- olive oil or oil
3、Step-By-Step Tutorial
Step 1：
Using a spoon, break the polenta into pieces. Remove the hardened polenta from the container by spoonfuls; the more rustic the cut, the better, as this will leave the pieces with sharp points, making the polenta even crispier.
Step 2：
Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius and program it to bake for 30 minutes. The polenta will be baked in two 15-minute batches.
Step 3：
Using a brush, spread olive oil (or vegetable oil) over the polenta pieces. Open the drawer and spread olive oil inside the air fryer basket as well.
Step 4：
Place half of the polenta pieces side by side, leaving space between each one. This allows for better air circulation and makes them crispier. Bake for 15 minutes. There's no need to flip them halfway through.
Step 5：
Using tongs, transfer the golden polenta to a plate and repeat the process with the rest. Serve immediately.
