Baked Brown Rice

Ingredients

• 2 cups brown rice
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Toast rice and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until rice gives off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Transfer rice to a Dutch oven or lidded casserole dish.

Bring chicken broth, olive oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to a boil in the same saucepan; pour over rice and stir to combine.

Cover and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
