In this polenta recipe from the Half Baked Harvest blog, this classic Italian dish is transformed from something you'd find on your dinner plate to a chip that's easy to snack on mid-day.
The unusual chip recipe brings out the origins of polenta with a few essentials of Italian cooking: olive oil and parmesan cheese for seasoning. Unlike many chips that are baked or dehydrated, these polenta chips need to be grilled until they are crunchy, golden and have visible grill marks on them. Once removed from the grill, the savory parmesan-seasoned chips can be served warm or at room temperature. Half Baked Harvest recommends pairing these unique polenta chips with gorgonzola or blue cheese, salsa, guacamole, or even eating them plain.
