Risotto has long been a favorite comfort food in Italy, but it can be time-consuming and labor-intensive to make from scratch. This oven-baked risotto recipe offers a simple and convenient alternative that still delivers on flavor and texture. The recipe uses warm broth and apple juice (or white wine) to cook the rice in the oven, eliminating the need for constant stirring. You can also choose your favorite vegetables to add to the dish, making it a versatile and customizable recipe. The Parmesan cheese and rosemary add a depth of flavor, and the resulting risotto is creamy and satisfying.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 180C/360F.
2.In a large oven-safe dish, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Remove from heat.
3.Add the chopped vegetables, rice, rosemary, black pepper, and allspice. Stir well to combine.
4.Pour the warm broth and apple juice (or wine) over the rice mixture, stir well again, and cover the pan with foil.
5.Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
6.Remove from the oven, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the rice, and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

PROS

This oven-baked risotto recipe is so easy and requires minimal prep and stirring time.
