Golden Oven Baked Rice

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time27 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 3 ½ cups hot water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F and put some water on to boil.
  • Measure the ingredients in the order given into a baking dish with lid*.
  • Mix together. Place lid or foil onto your pan and bake for 27-30 minutes. You will know it’s done when all the water is absorbed into the rice.
  • Remove from the oven, fluff with a fork and let sit 5 minutes.

Notes

Use a baking dish with lid. a Dutch oven works great or you can use a glass 9x13 pan and cover it with a baking sheet or tin foil to keep the steam in. It may bake faster in a 9x13 so be sure to monitor it more closely.
I love to bake this rice along side my other oven baked entrees like chicken or beef.
