How to Make Almond Rice Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery, onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add uncooked rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
  5. Transfer the rice mixture to a lightly oiled 3-quart casserole dish.
  6. Pour vegetable broth over the rice mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of the slivered almonds.
  7. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  8. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of slivered almonds.
  9. Bake, covered, for 60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
