Baked Brown Rice
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups brown rice
- 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth or water (if using water, add 1 tsp. salt)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking pan. Place the rice in the prepared pan and pour in the liquid. Stir to equally distribute the rice. Cover tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for five minutes before removing the aluminum foil and fluffing with a fork. If your rice still has a bit of liquid on the bottom or if it is dried out, adjust the baking time up or down to make changes.
Notes
This recipe doubles well for a 9x13 pan.
Variations: Add sauteed onions to the rice before it is cooked.
For Cilantro-Lime Rice: Cook the rice with 1 medium onion that has been chopped and sauteed. When rice is done cooking add 2 handfuls of chopped cilantro and the juice and zest of 1 lime.
