Combine the polenta in a large mixing bowl with the shredded mozzarella and mix thoroughly by hand. Roll balls with an ice cream scoop.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne in a bowl. Dredge the polenta balls in the cornmeal mixture. Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Place the balls in the fryer in batches and cook until golden brown. For a serving, ladle 3 ounces roasted tomato sauce on a plate, then place the balls on top of the sauce. Garnish with pecorino and parsley.
