Steps:
- Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- In a medium pot over high heat, add the milk and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Whisk in the polenta and reduce the heat to low, whisking continuously for about 5 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the polenta is creamy.
- Add the butter, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and stir until well-combined.
- Transfer the polenta to the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly with a spatula. Chill for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days to set.
- If baking, preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
- Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix until well-combined. Chill until ready to use.
- Carefully flip the baking sheet onto a cutting board to release the polenta. Slice in half lengthwise, and then cut into 22 equal-sized fries, each about 4 inches (10 cm) long and 1 inch (2 ½ cm) wide.
- If baking, use a spatula to transfer the fries onto wire racks set over 2 baking sheets. Brush each fry generously with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with more oil, until golden brown.
- If frying, heat the canola oil in a large pot until it reaches 375ºF (190ºC). Using a large spider, submerge 2 fries at a time into the oil and fry for 2-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Serve the fries with aioli.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring 7 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Combine 4 cups of the hot water and the milk in a heatproof bowl (the bowl should fit over the saucepan). Gradually whisk in the polenta and 2 teaspoons salt. Cover the bowl tightly with foil and set over the simmering water; do not let the bowl touch the water. Cook until very thick, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, brush a 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil.
- Stir the cheese and butter into the polenta. Spread in the prepared dish and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Slice the chilled polenta into eighteen 4 1/2-by-1-inch sticks and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the sticks with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a large piece of parchment on a large baking sheet and lightly mist it with spray.
- Cut the polenta in half crosswise, and then cut each half lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick fries. Place the fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer so they do not touch. Mist the tops with spray, then lightly sprinkle them evenly with salt.
- Bake them for 15 minutes. Carefully flip the fries, then mist the tops with spray and salt them. Continue baking an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fries are lightly crisped and golden brown. Serve immediately with ketchup or marinara sauce, if desired.
