About Grilled polenta
Grilled polenta is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, made from boiled cornmeal that’s cooled and firmed, then sliced and grilled to golden perfection. Its ingredients are minimal—cornmeal, water, and a touch of salt—making it naturally gluten-free and vegetarian. This dish is a source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, and is rich in fiber, supporting digestive health. It contains essential nutrients like vitamin B and iron from the cornmeal. When served grilled, polenta develops a satisfying, crispy exterior while remaining creamy inside, making it a versatile base or side for savory toppings like vegetables, cheese, or lean proteins. While generally healthy, variations using excessive butter, cream, or high-fat cheese can add unnecessary calories. Grilled polenta is a wholesome, flavorful option perfect for anyone seeking a nutritious alternative to bread or pasta.
