Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside once done.
Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the white rice, ensuring each grain is coated in the oil. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the rice to become slightly toasted.
Pour in the chicken gravy and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or tightly with aluminum foil. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the dish from the oven and carefully uncover. Stir in the roasted sweet potatoes and the peas. The residual heat from the risotto will warm the peas through.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the risotto and stir until well combined and creamy. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the oven-baked sweet potato and pea risotto hot, garnished with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- 1. Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into small, even-sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
- 2. Stir the risotto halfway through the cooking time to ensure that all the rice is evenly coated and cooked in the gravy.
- 3. Taste the risotto before adding the parmesan cheese to adjust the seasoning if needed.
- 4. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken gravy.
- 5. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a burst of color and added flavor.
Oven-baked sweet potato and pea risotto is a comforting and flavorful dish that's sure to please. With its creamy texture, sweet bursts of potato, and fresh peas, this risotto is not only delicious but also nutritious. Whether you're serving it to family or guests, this recipe is bound to become a favorite. Don't forget to customize it with your favorite herbs and enjoy!
