5 Easy Holiday Recipes to Try in Your New Wall Oven

The holidays are here, and there’s no better time to put your new wall oven to good use. From savory roasts to sweet treats, wall ovens are the ultimate tool to create festive dishes. These five easy holiday recipes are perfect for making memories—and meals.

 

 

1. Herb-Crusted Prime Rib

Nothing says “holiday dinner” like a perfectly cooked prime rib. Using your wall oven’s convection roast setting gives you even cooking and a beautifully browned crust.

Ingredients:

• 5 lbs. prime rib roast

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or oil of your choice)

• 2 tbsp garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

• 1 tbsp coarse salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your wall oven to 450°F and use the convection roast feature if your oven has it.

2. Rub the roast with olive oil, garlic, and seasonings.

3. Place on a roasting rack in a pan and roast for 20 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to 325°F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (medium rare). For medium, aim for 140°F, and for well-done, cook to 160°F. 

5. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

Standard Tip: Try the JennAir RISE™ Double Wall Oven (Model: JJW3830LL) for its V2™ Vertical Dual-Fan Convection feature and Connected Temperature Probe.

 

 

2. Roasted Honey-Glazed Carrots

These sweet and savory carrots are the perfect side dish. Use your wall oven’s convection bake setting for an even caramelized finish.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. carrots, peeled and halved

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp honey

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F on convection bake.

2. Toss carrots with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

3. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

 

3. Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

This shareable appetizer is a crowd favorite and comes together quickly. Your wall oven’s broil setting creates a perfectly golden top.

Ingredients:

• 1 large sourdough loaf

• ½ cup melted butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. Cut the loaf into a grid pattern, careful not to slice all the way through.

3. Mix melted butter, garlic, and seasoning. Drizzle between the bread cuts.

4. Stuff shredded mozzarella into the crevices.

5. Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

Pro Tip: Use the GE Profile™ Smart Built-In Convection Double Wall Oven (Model: PTD7000SNSS) for precision cooking modes and a Steam Clean feature for tough cheese spills.

 

4. Classic Sugar Cookies

Holiday baking isn’t complete without sugar cookies. Use your wall oven’s bake setting for consistent results.

Ingredients:

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 ½ cups sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla.

4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.

5. Roll dough into balls, flatten slightly and bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 8-10 minutes.

Pro Tip: To bake multiple sheets of cookies evenly, stagger them on the upper and lower racks, leaving space for air circulation. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through the cooking time to ensure consistent browning. If you have a convection oven, use it to eliminate the need for rotating.

 

 

5. Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce

This elegant appetizer is simple to prepare and perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients:

• 1 wheel of brie

• ½ cup cranberry sauce

• ¼ cup chopped pecans

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. Place brie in the center of the puff pastry. Top with cranberry sauce and pecans.

3. Fold the pastry over the brie, pinching the edges to seal.

4. Brush with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

FAQ: Holiday Baking & Roasting

1. Is roasting in the oven the same as baking in the oven?
Not quite. Roasting typically uses higher temperatures and is ideal for cooking meats or vegetables, while baking is better for bread, pastries, and other delicate dishes.

2. What is the roasting setting on an oven?
The roasting setting uses the oven’s top and bottom heat elements to brown food while maintaining a consistent temperature, often with the option of a convection fan for even cooking.

3. Does roasting take longer than baking?
Not necessarily. Roasting often cooks foods faster due to higher temperatures, but this depends on the size and type of food.

4. What is the typical temperature for baking and roasting?
Baking is usually done at 325°F to 375°F while roasting generally ranges from 375°F to 450°F.

5. How long do you cook a 2 lb roast at 325 degrees?
A 2 lb roast typically takes about 50-60 minutes at 325°F for medium rare. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired doneness.

6. Which is hotter, roasting or baking?
Roasting is hotter than baking, with temperatures typically starting at 375°F and going higher, whereas baking stays within the 325°F to 375°F range.
