Grilled polenta with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese is a simple yet satisfying vegetarian dish. It features crispy grilled polenta slices topped with a rich tomato sauce and finished with savory cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (18 ounce) tube prepared polenta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can marinara sauce, or your favorite homemade marinara
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Slice the polenta tube into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  3. Brush both sides of each polenta slice with olive oil.
  4. Grill the polenta for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. While the polenta is grilling, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
  6. Arrange the grilled polenta slices on a serving platter.

Notes
