For a vegan option, substitute the goat cheese with a plant-based alternative or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil. The jammy tomato topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Experiment with different herbs in the tomato mixture, such as rosemary or oregano, to customize the flavor profile. Ensure the baking sheet is hot before adding the polenta rounds to achieve maximum crispiness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the drained diced tomatoes, raisins, and red wine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the raisins are plump and most of the liquid has evaporated. (20 minutes)
03
StepRemove the tomato mixture from heat and stir in the honey, balsamic vinegar, chopped fresh thyme, and salt. Set aside.
04
StepWhile the tomato mixture simmers, slice the polenta into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. In a large bowl, gently toss the polenta rounds with olive oil.
05
StepCarefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the polenta rounds in a single, even layer on the hot baking sheet.
06
StepBake the polenta rounds in the preheated oven, turning halfway through, until they are lightly golden and crisp on both sides. (15 minutes)
07
StepTo assemble, top each crispy polenta round with a generous dollop of goat cheese and then spoon the jammy tomato mixture over the cheese. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
08
StepServe the crispy polenta bites warm or at room temperature.
