Butternut squash and cauliflower florets are called for, but you could vary the combination of roasted vegetables depending on the season or your cravings at the moment. 

4 servings 

Ingredients 

4 cups cauliflower florets, 
4 cups cubed peeled butternut squash 
1 medium onion, sliced 
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth, or reduced-sodium chicken broth 
1 cup water 
3/4 cup cornmeal 
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1/2 teaspoon dried 
2/3 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano 
Preparation 

Preheat oven to 500°F. 
Toss cauliflower, squash and onion in a large bowl with oil, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender and browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. 
Meanwhile, combine broth and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in cornmeal, rosemary and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until very thick and creamy, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in cheese; remove the polenta from the heat. Serve the vegetables over the polenta.
