Prepare the Baked Vegetable Orzo

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. In a 9×13 baking dish, mix together the oil, vegetables, salt, basil, and garlic.

  3. Cook for about 10 minutes uncovered till the vegetables have softened a bit. Mix in the orzo and cover with water. Cover the pan tightly and bake about 30 minutes or until the orzo is soft. If there is liquid leftover in the pan, that’s fine.

  4. Once you remove from oven, uncover and mix. Then cover back up and allow to sit a few minutes until the liquid is more absorbed.

Really delicious. Super easy and simple. Very tasty.

The meatloaf was delicious, but the orzo was far too mushy. I'd suggest less water.

Eliana Abbe •

Made for supper, was a big hit, enjoyed by adults and kids alike!

Can I sub the orzo for white or brown rice instead using same grain: water ratio?

For sure you can sub the orzo for rice, and yes, the water: grain ratio stays the same.
