Step 1

Adjust the cooking rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 450°F, if using a toaster oven, select the BAKE setting. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

Pat the exterior of the polenta dry with a clean kitchen towel. Then cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Slice each round into 4 wedges.

Step 3

Add the polenta to a large bowl. Spray with oil. Toss to coat. Then sprinkle with the seasoning of choice and toss again.

Step 4

Wearing oven mitts carefully remove the hot pan. Add the polenta and arrange in a single layer.

Step 5

Bake until the polenta is browned and crisped on the edges, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

If more browning/crispiness is desired, Broil the polenta for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 7

Let the bites cool for a few minutes, then enjoy plain or served with your favorite dipping sauce.
