I have attempted polenta in the past, however unsuccessfully. So, when I saw several recipes for Polenta in donna hay magazine
These would make a really good nosh before the Halloween mayhem starts on Sunday night. I am loading my kids up on protein and veggies all day. Boycotting sugar this weekend for fear of what’s to come!
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Polenta Chips
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock
1 cup instant polenta
30g butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
sea salt
fresh herbs
Instructions
• place the stock in a heavy duty pan. bring to a boil.
• gradually whisk in the polenta. you want to add slowly, whisking the whole time. otherwise you will get lumps and you can’t get the lumps out.
• cook 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
• remove from heat and add the Parmesan, salt, and a little pepper.
• spread mixture into a lightly greased baking pan (i used a quarter sheet pan).
• refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set.
• slice into strips.
• preheat oven to 425*. brush strips with a little olive oil. place on lightly greased tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown
these are also really good with a side of homemade marinara!

Great use of polenta!
Polenta is one thing that I’ve never attempted, or even wanted to – but these have peaked my interest! I have to try them now!
These are delectable, Susan! I want to try some of those recipes, too. You should try this, another one of Donna’s great recipes:http://technicolorkitcheninenglish.blogspot.com/2008/08/grilled-cheese-and-basil-polenta.htmlxx
I love polenta, and this sound like a great snack!
These look divine and as you said, like the perfect snack to nosh on!
I have some polenta mix left that I bought in Buenos Aires so I am definitely trying this. I love Polenta and this looks so good! Thank you Susan!
Isn’t it funny how we shy away from polenta & then when we make it we realize how easy & tasty it is! Have a great Halloween! xo
I tried this once a long time ago and they weren’t so crisp. I think the problem was spreading the polenta in too small of a pan, resulting in thicker slices that remained soft in the middle even after baking. I’ll have to reattempt it with your recipe.Cheers and thanks,*Heather*
That looks so good Susan. Will need to give them a try. Have a great weekend and thanks so much for visiting my blog.
I have never made polenta and am a little scared too. But this looks delish!
YUM! I love polenta. These look great and I never would have thought of them,
Hoe cool! I’ve never heard of this before!
These look absolutely delicious! I love polenta when it’s made this way. Months ago I added some toppings like goat cheese and thin strips of roasted red peppers.
