1 32 ounce tube precooked polenta
6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 medium yellow onion diced
1 medium zucchini diced
6 to 8 cremini mushrooms diced
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups marinara sauce

Steps:

Turn toaster oven to broil at 450 degrees. Cut polenta into 6 (1-inch-thick) slices. Place rounds on an 8 x 11-inch baking sheet prepared with nonstick cooking spray and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Turn rounds over and spread 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese on top of each. Broil 5-7 minutes more, or until cheese is crusty and lightly browned. Meanwhile, saute vegetables in oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until softened. Stir in marinara sauce and heat until bubbly. Serve spooned over the cooked polenta rounds. Makes 4-6 servings.
