Baked Polenta

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 6 cups cold water
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (13-ounce) package instant polenta

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil an 11 X 7-inch baking sheet, then line the baking sheet with wax paper.
2. In a large pot, combine the water, sea salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-high and slowly stir in the polenta.
4. Continue stirring the polenta until it is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
5. Pour the polenta onto the lined baking sheet, and bake in the oven until the polenta is slightly firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
7. When the polenta is cool enough to handle, cut it into desired shapes, such as triangles, squares, diamonds, or rounds.
