Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus cut into 2-inch segments
  • 1 bunch radishes quartered
  • 1 small zucchini cut into big chunks
  • ¼ cup snow peas
  • ¼ red onion chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup polenta instant
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 Tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350°F.
  • Toss the asparagus, radishes, zucchini, snow peas, and onion with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread onto a sheet pan in a single layer and roast until tender and beginning to char, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the vegetable broth and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the polenta and cook for 1 minute, until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the mozzarella and butter. If the polenta is too thick, stir in a little more broth or water to loosen. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the polenta in a serving dish; top with roast vegetables and fresh basil.
  • Serve immediately.
