Method
Season
- Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the warm rice with the oil, spices and onion until well mixed.
First bake
- Spread on a baking sheet in a flat layer, bunched slightly so it doesn't dry out. Bake 10 minutes.
Stir and bake again
- Stir thoroughly, flatten it out again and bake 5 minutes more.
Broil
- Switch to broil and watch closely. Pull it after 1–2 minutes, as soon as the edges crisp.
A small amount of rice browns very fast under the broiler.
Good to know
- Using cold rice from the fridge? Use 1½ tsp oil to break up the clumps, and bake 12 minutes for the first round instead of 10.
