Baked Brown Rice
Baked Brown Rice
Baked Brown Rice is a foolproof, no-stir way to achieve tender, fluffy whole grains. By baking the rice in a tightly covered dish with hot water or broth, the steam does all the work. It’s an ideal healthy side for everything from roasted vegetables to grilled meats, and it reheats beautifully for meal prep or leftovers.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
- Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
Notes
