Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let sit covered for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam and fluff.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 6
Spread the cooked rice in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to separate the grains a bit.
Step 7
Drizzle the olive oil over the rice and gently mix to coat evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once crispy, remove the rice from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy as a breakfast cereal with milk or as a crunchy snack.
