3. #### Ingredients:
4. - 1 cup yellow cornmeal
5. - 2 cups water
6. - 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust according to taste)
7. - 1 tablespoon olive oil
8. - 3 tablespoons cajun seasoning
9. - Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, hot sauce
11. #### Equipment Needed:

15. - Spatula
17. #### Detailed Steps:
19. 1. **Prepare the Polenta:**
20. - In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
21. - Gradually stir in 1 cup of yellow cornmeal while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
22. - Once combined, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should become thick and creamy.
23. - Remove from heat and add 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more if desired). Mix well.
25. 2. **Coat the Polenta:**
26. - Transfer the polenta to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly until it’s still warm but not hot to the touch.
27. - Stir in 3 tablespoons of cajun seasoning, ensuring the polenta is evenly coated.
29. 3. **Form into Fries:**
30. - Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion out the polenta mixture into small, uniform pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
31. - Place these pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow them to cool for a few minutes (about 5-10).
33. 4. **Air Fryer Preheat:**
34. - Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) while the polenta fries are cooling.
36. 5. **Fry in the Air Frier:**
37. - Once the air fryer reaches the desired temperature, carefully add the polenta fries, making sure not to overcrowd the basket.
38. - Cook for approximately 7-8 minutes, stirring halfway through if necessary, until they turn a golden brown and crispy.
40. 6. **Serve Immediately:**
41. - Remove the air-fried polenta fries from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula and let them cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth.
42. - Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, blue cheese, or your homemade cajun aioli.
44. #### Tips for Success:
45. - **Consistency:** Ensure the cornmeal is mixed well with water before adding it to the heat. This prevents lumps and ensures a smooth consistency.
46. - **Seasoning:** The cajun seasoning is key here. You can adjust the amount of cayenne or paprika according to your taste preference for spiciness.
47. - **Crispness:** To achieve crispy polenta fries, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. This allows better circulation of hot air around each piece.
