Easy Baked Polenta

Posted in Food, Health & Wellness

Cornmeal is a wonderful, healthy grain! High in fiber, low in fat, and gluten-free; it is also abundant with B-vitamins and minerals to ground you! When you are looking to make an easy side dish, don’t discount polenta. Long regarded as difficult, because it required endless stirring, this recipe couldn’t be easier to make. And it beats the packaged tubes of supermarket polenta HANDS DOWN.

Polenta is a staple of Northern Italian cuisine, but you will find it an excellent side dish for any meal. It’s also wonderful for babies and children.

Make sure to always buy organic Polenta corn grits. Corn is a genetically engineered crop (GMOs). Cornmeal comes in a variety of grades, fine (corn flour for baking), medium and coarse, so be sure to buy the medium grade appropriate for Polenta!
