This Roasted Root Vegetables with Goat Cheese Polenta is a comfort food recipe yet healthy for two. I believe that creamy, warming polenta is the most delicious porridge you can eat for dinner! Along with roasted root vegetables piled on top and pesto for garnish, this dish became a favorite in my house.

In this comforting winter dinner recipe, I use up leftover roasted vegetables, heating them through briefly, along with garlic and sage. This hack helps me cut down on my cooking time and use the leftovers not only to make a sandwich but to prepare a healthy dinner, too. I also love experimenting with my polenta recipe, and this time I use hard goat cheese instead of traditional Parmesan. If you are a fan of goat cheese, like I am, then you will definitely want to try this recipe. Enjoy!
