This toasted pecan rice pilaf is a delightful and satisfying side dish. The rice is baked with diced carrots and shallots, sliced garlic, and fresh bay leaves. This infuses great flavor into the rice while also offering some color and texture. Once baked, the rice is fluffed onto a serving platter and showered with toasted pecans, fresh parsley, and a big squeeze of lemon juice. The final rice is bursting with flavor and perfect to serve alongside your favorite protein or to be enjoyed over top soups and stews.
