Best Polenta Pizza Bites Recipes
POLENTA PIZZA BITES
After school, my girls are super-hungry, so I steer them toward a savory snack. These polenta mini-pizzas are a treat that I feel great about giving them. And, I can tailor them according to their tastes (and what I happen to have in the pantry)!

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high. Brush the polenta with the olive oil on both sides and place the disks on a broiler pan covered with foil. Broil until the tops begin to turn golden, about 1 minute (watch closely as broiler heat varies).
- Flip the polenta disks over and spread about 1 tablespoon of the marinara sauce on each one, then top with cheese and other toppings (if using). Broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 1 more minute. Let cool a few minutes and serve.

Steps:
- Bring 1½ litres water to the boil and add the stock pots and ½ tsp salt. Pour in the polenta, whisking continuously, bring to the boil and reduce the heat to low, then stir every minute to keep it from sticking, for about 8 mins (or according to pack instructions).
- Meanwhile, oil a non-stick baking tray (ours was 30 x 40cm). Spoon the cooked polenta into the tray and level with a spoon to make a large, flat slab that fills the whole tray (about 1cm thick). You can use wet palms to press it down firmly after a few minutes. Leave to cool and set firm for at least 1 hr.
- Turn out the polenta onto your work surface and cut into strips. Halve the strips on the diagonal to make little wedges and put back on the tray. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Top each polenta base with 1 tsp pizza sauce, a little vegan cheese and a sprinkle of oregano. Add extra toppings, if you like. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 mins. Serve warm or cold.

AIR FRYER POLENTA PIZZA BITES
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and gooey melty cheese on top. If Italian herb polenta is not available, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the rounds after brushing with EVOO. I like these as they are but feel free to dip in pizza or marinara sauce for that extra pizza kick. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Steps:

- Place polenta rounds on a cutting board and brush both sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer 1/2 of the rounds to the air fryer basket.
- Air-fry for 15 minutes. Using tongs, flip rounds over, and cook for 5 minutes more. Sprinkle 1/2 of the sliced olives over the polenta and top with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Cook until cheese has melted, about 2 more minutes.
- Repeat with remaining half of polenta rounds, olives, and mozzarella cheese.
