Polenta Croutons

from Squash Mac n Cheese with Kale Caesar, the Week of December 1, 2013.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

These are slightly addictive and a cinch to make, they just take their time in the oven. Use a tube of polenta or leftover polenta that you have chilled. Omit the parmesan cheese or use nutritional yeast if you want these to be dairy free.

Ingredients

  • 1 polenta, tube
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced or crushed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, optional or nutritional yeast

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.

Toss together the minced garlic and olive oil. Cut the polenta into cubes, just slightly bigger than the size crouton you would like to have. Toss lightly with the garlic-olive oil to coat.

Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 30-45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes until golden.

Remove from the oven, toss with the grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast and spread out on a separate dish to cool.
