Ingredients
- One 18-ounce tube prepared polenta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 cup marinara sauce, heated
Instructions
- Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Slice the tube of polenta in half lengthwise, then slice each half in half lengthwise again. Slice each piece into 1/4-inch-thick slices to make triangular pieces with a rounded base. Add to a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the polenta bites to the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip each bite and bake until crispy but still slightly tender on the inside, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 5 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, transfer to platter and serve with a side of marinara for dipping.

This was not good. You can’t eat these after they cool. Tossed them out.
Loved it. However, make sure your baking sheet can withstand 425 degrees. Mine started smoking which set the smoke alarm off. I will use the broiling pan as a baking sheet next time.
I’ve made using grits and regular cornmeal using similar recipes. Problem with this recipe is what constitutes 1/4 cup of grated parmesan? If I use a microplane it would be one weight. If I used a regular grater it would be another. Wish you would also give weights.
These are absolutely amazing!!! I cut mine smaller and baked longer so they would be extra crispy. I also used avocado oil instead of olive oil. So yummy and healthy!
I definitely like these on the crispy side. Baked them a little longer than it said to bake them. I may use the left over ones for a garnish on a salad. Delicious!
Perfection!! Always have this tube style polenta in the fridge, now I have the most amazing way of utilizing it. Taste explosion! Love, love, love!!!
