Rice Pilaf with Parsley and Almonds

One of the benefits of cooking with Convection is the ability to cook multiple foods at one time in the oven. Preparing a rice pilaf in the oven is an easy way to cook a flavorful side-dish and it frees you up from standing at the stovetop as well as eliminating any possible boilovers or burning.


When cooking  a multi-level meal in the oven, stage the dishes first to make sure they all fit.  For example a tray of chicken could be cooked on rack position 4 or 5, vegetables on rack 2 and the rice pilaf on rack 3 or next to the vegetables if there is room. 


When you have multiple foods cooking in the oven higher temperatures of 375 - 400 degrees are ideal to keep an even temperature.
