Polenta with Fontina and Roasted Vegetables

Bake a pan of polenta until it gets crispy at the edges, and then top it with any vegetables your heart desires. Here, roasted summer vegetables pair with fontina, a mild melting cheese. But this is a fantastic recipe all year long: try it in the fall or winter with butternut squash, mushrooms and Gorgonzola. Serve this dish with a salad of field greens.
