Polenta (Cornmeal) Chips image

Iain Hewitson is my favourite Australian chef, he serves these chips at his Melbourne resturant Tolarno's. Serve them as an appetiser or as a side dish -- great with sweet chilli sauce. Prep time doesn't include the overnight cooling.

I love that these polenta chips are gluten-free. I have a gluten intolerance, so it's hard for me to find snacks that I can eat. These chips are a lifesaver!

These polenta chips are a great way to use up leftover polenta. I usually have some leftover after making polenta for dinner, and these chips are a great way to use it up.

These polenta chips are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I grated some zucchini and carrots into the polenta before baking it, and my kids loved the chips.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but these chips were actually really good. They were crispy and flavorful, and I loved the cheesy flavor.

I love the cheesy flavor of these polenta chips. I used sharp cheddar cheese, but you could use any type of cheese you like.

I've made these polenta chips several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside.
