Easy Oven-Baked Real Polenta (Not Instant) image

Why stir polenta forever when this delicious recipe works beautifully? I like to roast veggies (eggplant, zucchini, onion) while the polenta bakes, then when the polenta is done, top with roasted veggies and some chopped tomatoes, some spices, and bake another 20 minutes. It's dinner.

This polenta was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and it was much better. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it could use a little more flavor.

I was really excited to try this polenta recipe, but it was a bit of a disappointment. The polenta was dry and crumbly, and it didn't have much flavor. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.
