Notes

Storing Tips: Leftover polenta pizza bites should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Let them cool completely before storing, and they'll stay fresh for about 3–4 days.

How to Reheat: Pop them in a 400°F oven for 8–10 minutes or an air fryer at 375°F for 5–7 minutes to get them crispy again. If you’d rather keep them soft, just microwave them on a plate with a damp paper towel for 1–2 minutes. Easy and tasty either way!
