Healthy Polenta Chips

Potato chips replacement!

Finally. Let's be honest here, you can not just stop with eating 1 chip.

Here is the healthier version of potato fries. Eat them by itself or eat them as a side with a juicy steak.

What you need:
- 2.5 cups of water
- 1 cup of polenta
- 1.5 tsp of chicken stock (powder preferred)
- 1 tsp of rosemary
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil spray

Ingredients needed
Note that you will need to prepare a aluminium lined dish/container/baking pan.
Here I used 20cmx20cm.


Step one:
Pour the water and chicken stock into a saucepan, let it boil.

Step two:
In thin steady stream, pour the polenta into the boiling water mix while stirring.
Not too fast because you do not want it to clog up in mix.

Steady Stream
Step three:
After the polenta mixture become thicker and mashy, sprinkle the rosemary evenly while stirring.



Step four: 
While it's still hot, pour the polenta mix to the aluminium lined tin and press it down. Make sure there are no bubbles. 
Set aside to cool and set.


Step Five:
When cool, take out polenta out of the tin and start on cutting them into pieces.
Here, I cut them into 6cm x 3cm x 0.7 cm


Step Six:
Preheat the oven on 180C.
Lay the pieces on baking paper lined tray and spray them with olive oil.
When finish, pop them into the oven for 20 minutes.

Step seven:
Take them out from the oven, let them cool for a bit and then enjoy!
Good to go with BBQ sauce or chilli sauce.


That's it for now!

Until next time,
