Grill tomatoes and bell peppers, skin side down, over high heat until blackened. Place bell peppers in a large bowl, cover and let stand 5 min. During this time, lightly spray the zucchini with cooking spray and grill covered over medium heat 4-6 min until tender, turning once. Remove the skin from the tomatoes and bell peppers and place back in the bowl. Toss the zucchini in the bowl as well.2) *If using a grill, skip this step*. Place the tomatoes, zucchini and bell peppers in a single layer on your cookie sheets. Lightly spritze them with oil and put them in the oven for about 20 min, then turn and bake for another 20 min. By this time the zucchini should be browned and the other veggies should start to look like they're drying up. Remove from oven and place them in a large bowl.3) Microwave or steam the corn niblets until heated through and add to bowl.4) Crush 2 cloves of fresh garlic into the bowl with the veggies. Add the pesto & mix well to coat. Set aside.5) To make polenta: In a medium sauce pan bring water, salt and pepper to a boil over high heat.
