Description
Crispy Air Fryer Polenta Cakes are a perfect, easy-to-make side or appetizer! Golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 tube polenta
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powde
Serving:
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup Burrata cheese
Instructions
- Open up the package and remove the wrapper. Cut off the rounded ends (optional) and slice them into thin rounds.
- season rounds with salt and pepper on both sides and coat lightly with all-purpose flour. Dip each round into beaten egg yolk, and then dredge in breadcrumb mixture (1:1 ratio of breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese, seasoned with a bit of salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder).
- Air Fry the coated polenta rounds for about 12-15 minutes, at 380 degrees F, using air fryer setting, on each side until golden brown and crispy. Set finished polenta aside on a wire cooling rack so they stays crispy during the plating process.
- Plate the polenta rounds - start with a smear of marinara sauce (or other red sauce of your choice), top with the prepared polenta, sprinkle some arugula (or greens of your choice) and finish with a few pieces of burrata. Top with a bit of flaky salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
