If you’ve never had polenta today is the day we change this. I bought a tube of polenta at the grocery store to make these delicious baked crisps of yummy. For those that don’t know, polenta is cornmeal that’s cooked to a paste. It was a tube of this cornmeal paste that I got at the store and which you can probably get in yours too.
I served these with meatballs, which were good but were uninspired which is why they aren’t featured nor do they get a recipe. Just make your favorite meatballs and pair them with this baked polenta!
