The great thing about oven-baked risotto is that it just takes a few minutes to prepare it and the oven does the rest of the work for you. Normally you have to keep an eye out on the pan all the time when preparing risotto because you have to stir it occasionally.

Vegetarian Oven-baked Risotto

This vegetarian oven-baked risotto is made with mushrooms and vegan bacon. I love mushrooms in risotto. Together with pumpkin they’re my favorite risotto ingredients. You often see risotto recipes with mushrooms and bacon. But as I’m a vegetarian, I don’t eat bacon. To still add some extra flavor to the dish, I’ve added vegan bacon from Vegan Junkstar. It looks and tastes just like real bacon! In the Netherlands it’s for sale at Jumbo supermarkets. Scroll down for the recipe of vegetarian oven-baked risotto.
