Baked Coconut Rice
This easy baked coconut rice recipe is simple and delicious. No need to babysit a pot of rice, just bake it for perfect rice every time!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup long grain rice (basmati, jasmin or similar) rinsed until water runs clear
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (1 can)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Boil the coconut milk and water and pour it into your baking dish.
- Add the rice, oil and salt to the baking dish and stir to combine everything.
- Cover the baking dish with foil tightly to prevent steam from escaping and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest with the foil on for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and fluff the rice with a fork before serving. (The coconut cream will settled on the top of the rice when it bakes but it will blend in when you fluff the rice with a fork). Season with as much salt as needed.
