Preheat and prep
Oven
Cutting Board
Can opener
Chef’s knife

Preheat the oven to 425°F and finish the prep: cube the polenta, cut the eggplant, rinse and drain the beans, and chop the kale.

Cut the eggplant, polenta, and kale on a stable cutting board, keeping fingers clear of the knife blade.

18 Ounce polenta
1 Pound eggplant
1 Can cannellini beans
5 Ounce kale

Season on the sheet pan

Measuring Spoons
Rimmed sheet pan

On the rimmed sheet pan, combine the polenta, eggplant, cannellini beans, and cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes; spread into an even layer.

18 Ounce polenta
1 Pound eggplant
1 Can cannellini beans
12 Ounce cherry tomatoes
3 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 Teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Roast until crisp and tender
Oven
Spatula
Rimmed sheet pan
Oven mitts

Roast for 25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the polenta edges are crisp and the eggplant is mostly tender.

Use oven mitts when handling the hot rimmed sheet pan.

1 Can cannellini beans
12 Ounce cherry tomatoes

Add kale and marinara
Spatula
Measuring Cups
Rimmed sheet pan

Add the lacinato kale and spoon the marinara sauce over the pan; gently toss just enough to coat the kale while keeping some polenta exposed.

The sheet pan is hot from roasting; keep it on a heatproof surface and avoid touching the pan directly.

5 Ounce kale
1 1/2 Cup marinara sauce

Finish roasting
Oven
Rimmed sheet pan
Oven mitts

Roast for 8 to 10 minutes more, until the marinara is bubbling, the kale is wilted, and the eggplant is tender.

Keep the sheet pan level when moving it, since hot marinara and tomatoes can shift.

5 Ounce kale
1 1/2 Cup marinara sauce
6
Rest and serve
Spatula
Rimmed sheet pan

Let the pan stand for 3 minutes, then scrape up the crisp polenta edges with a spatula and serve hot.

Let the pan rest briefly before serving to reduce splatter from the hot sauce.
