Easy Oven Baked White Rice
Say goodbye to burnt pots and hello to perfectly fluffy rice made entirely in your oven.
recipesbynani.comMaking rice in the oven is my secret for stress free dinners. You do not have to worry about watching a boiling pot or scraping the bottom of a pan because the oven does all the hard work for you.
This method produces beautiful, individual grains every single time. It is a fantastic way to prepare a large batch if you are feeding a crowd or just want to have leftovers ready for the week.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1.5 cups long grain white rice
- 2.5 cups boiling water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
Combine the rice, boiling water, butter, and salt in an 8 by 8 inch baking dish.
- 3
Cover the dish tightly with a lid or two layers of aluminum foil to keep the steam inside.
- 4
Bake for 30 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Remove from the oven and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
💡 Tips
Store any leftover rice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, add a small splash of water to the container and microwave it for a minute or two until it is warm and fluffy again.
