Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good quality rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the rice, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After cooking the rice, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: When serving the rice, garnish it with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Baked French onion rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice.
