Crispy Polenta Bites

By Cubby

Ingredients

• One 16-ounce log of prepared polenta, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Trim the polenta’s rounded edges to create a rectangle; halve lengthwise. Spread the panko on a plate. Press both sides of the polenta in the panko to coat. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cook the polenta until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side; add 1 tablespoon of the oil after flipping.

Cut the polenta into 16 pieces. Top with just about anything
