How to Make Baked Rice

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked rice, butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in the chopped vegetables (onions, carrots, and bell peppers) ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the rice mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  5. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown and crispy on top, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  7. Let the baked rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
