Ingredients
- 1 tube polenta cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 cup vegan-friendly bread crumbs GF if needed
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup non-dairy mozzarella shreds
- dried parsley and oregano for sprinkling
Instructions
- PREP: Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- BREAD AND BAKE: Pour the non dairy milk and bread crumbs into two separate shallow dishes (pie dishes work great). Dip each polenta circle into the milk, then the breadcrumbs - evenly coating them. Place each on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until bread crumbs are starting to get brown and crispy.
- ADD TOPPINGS: Carefully flip each polenta circle and top each with a spoonful of sauce, then a sprinkle of vegan cheese. Top with a light sprinkle of dried parsley and oregano.
- BROIL: Switch the oven to broil and broil the polenta rounds for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. You can also just stick them back in the oven and cook until the vegan cheese has melted. Then, serve and enjoy!

Notes
If you don't have bread crumbs (or can't find them), feel free to throw some stale, toasted bread in a food processor. This works great with gluten-free bread too.
