parmesan grated to make 4 tbsp, plus extra to serve
butter 25g
courgette 1 large, halved lengthways and thickly sliced

Method

Step 1

Make the polenta to packet instructions, cooking until it is quite thick. Mix with the butter and parmesan and season really well. Spread the polenta out about 2 cm deep on a small baking tray and leave to set in the fridge (about 20 minutes).
Step 2

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the vegetables with 2 tbsp olive oil then season and roast for 10-15 minutes until tender. Cut the polenta into wedges. Brush with olive oil then griddle on both sides. Top with the veg, more parmesan shavings and a drizzle of oil.
