Hemp Polenta Chips are a delicious and healthy twist on traditional polenta fries, infused with the nutritious benefits of hemp protein, hemp hearts, and hemp seed oil. These crispy chips are perfect as a snack, appetiser, or side dish, packed with essential nutrients and a subtle nutty flavor from the hemp ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 ½ cups Polenta (finley ground)
- 2 tbsp Hemp protein powder
- ½ cup Hemp Hearts
- ½ cup Parmesan (grated)
- 2 tbsp Hemp seed oil
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- Sunflower oil for frying
- 2 tbsp Finely chopped herbs of your choice
- 1 tbsp Hemp seed oil for drizzling
- 1 tsp Flaky sea salt to season
Directions
- Serves: 4
- Grease a large slice tin or square dish with hemp seed oil, then set aside.
- Bring the stock to a rolling boil, then add the polenta in a steady stream while whisking. Continue to whisk for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, then fold in the parmesan cheese, hemp seed oil, hemp protein powder, hemp hearts and herbs.
- Pour the polenta into the slice tin or dish, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Allow to cool slightly, then cover with cling film and refrigerate until completely cold and firm (at least 2-3 hours).
- Preheat fryer or oven to 180 C.
- Turn the polenta slap onto a chopping board and slice it into thick chips.
- Dust the surface of the chips with coconut flour.
- Gently place the chips into the fryer, and cook for 6-minutes.
- To bake them in the oven, place them onto a lined baking tray, brush with the sunflower oil and bake them in the pre-heated oven for 20 min or until they are slightly brown and crispy.
- The chips are ready when they reach a rich, dark colour. Don’t worry, they taste amazing!
