No more stirring polenta on the stove! Oven-baked polenta cooks all by itself in the oven. It's creamy and comforting and everyone in the family can add their favorite toppings. I often roast a sheet-pan of vegetables tossed in olive oil while the polenta bakes so I can serve roasted vegetables on the side. The 1 hour of prep time is for soaking the polenta for 1 hour in water before it bakes. This is optional, but helps it cook faster and have a creamier texture.
