Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon coconut aminos, soy sauce, or tamari
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: Pinch of salt

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cooked rice in a pile on an 18×13 inch sheet pan. Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce alternative, then sprinkle with garlic powder and a pinch of salt if using. Mix thoroughly to coat every grain.
Spread the seasoned rice evenly across the sheet pan in a single layer. Pat it down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create a compact surface.
Bake for 12-20 minutes, tossing halfway through (around 8-10 minutes), until the rice is golden brown and crispy to your preference.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. This rice is delicious as a snack or as a base for bowls and salads.
To store, let the crispy rice cool completely, then keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
