Beware, these polenta chips are highly addicting.
Like HIGHLY, but I figure it’s ok because aside from the parmesan, which I do think is a must, these are actually pretty healthy.
And super quick + easy!
Yeah!
There is no frying, soaking or any other annoying tasks.
All you need to do is slice, grill and serve!
Personally I love these just at they are or with a little blue cheese, but you could go crazy with dipping options.
Ketchup, BBQ sauce, any kind of creamy dip or dressing, and oh my gosh, salsa and guacamole would be flipping amazing!! Now that I thought of it I am so trying that next, which means I’ll be making these again tomorrow. Sounds like a great mid afternoon break from the Florida sun – paired with a Pink Watermelon Lemonade Slushy. Oh yeah, I am so doing that!
Not only would these be great as a mid-day snack, but they would be the perfect party snack or appetizer for the Fourth of July. I still cannot believe that is a week from Friday. I better start thinking Red, White and Blue!
Grilled Parmesan Polenta Chips.

Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
Ingredients
- 2 ounce tubes polenta removed from plastic, cut into 1/4-1/2-inch slices, 8
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces parmesan cheese grated (swap with nutritional yeast for a vegan version)
- salt + pepper for sprinkling
- gorgonzola or blue cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly rub your grill with olive oil.
- Brush both sides of the polenta cakes with the olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with parmesan, salt and pepper.
- Lay the polenta rounds in one layer on the grill, and grill for 5 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden and crunchy and have grill marks.
- Remove the cakes from the grill and place on a large plate to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. I love serving these with blue cheese, salsa or guacamole or simply snacking on them plain!
Now that is the perfect chip.
Drool! These will make a great addition to my summer salads!
How FUN! Loving these.
Polenta chips! Genius. These looks so simple and delicious. I can’t wait to try them out!
I’ve seen so many new ways to use polenta lately and I’m loving it! Such a great idea.
Mmmmm, the grill marks look very appetizing!
These look so addicting – and I was just at Trader Joe’s yesterday!! I will polenta on my list for my next trip!
Look delicious!
Even better with homemade polenta.
Have a Joyful Day :~D

Uh, yes please! I *love* polenta, but have never tried grilling it before. I can’t believe I used up the last of my polenta last night! Looks like I’ll be making a trip to the store today, because these sound far too good to pass up! Hope you’re enjoying Florida 🙂
Great idea…I’ve never grilled polenta before. I love the crispy coating the cheese makes…definitely going to try this.
Such a great idea! I love, love polenta and have never thought to slice it into discs and turn it into a chip 🙂 Love it.
Thanks!! I plan to catch up on all your post soon and I have an email out soon too! 🙂
LOVE polenta
What a great idea! These sound delicious.
Where do you find rolls of polenta? Never heard of this.
Hey Charlotte, I just find them in my grocery store. In my store they are located next to the dried couscous, quinoa and rice, but I am sure if you ask someone at your store they may know. And I am not sure, but I think target may sell them as well. If you really cannot find them you can either may your own polenta and just cut them into squares or buy them here on Amazon. Also, I know Trader Joes carries a similar product, but I have never tried it. Hope that helps!
What a great idea! I love that there is no baking or frying…Grilling is just so easy 🙂
These would make appetizers with bruschetta on them!
What a great idea! I love polenta… and might I suggest dipping them in olive tapenade? Yum!
