For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or Italian herbs before air frying. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, work in batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. Polenta fries are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy. However, they can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their texture.
