This easy oven method yields perfectly cooked brown rice with fluffy, separate grains and a buttery taste (despite not containing any butter). We pack in a full cup of kale per serving. It will seem like a lot, but, like spinach, it wilts significantly when cooked. To streamline prep, use pre-chopped greens.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Dry medium grain brown rice

1 cup(s), or long-grain

Kale

6 cup(s), chopped, loosely packed

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Kosher salt

¾ tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the rice into the dish and top with the kale.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil with the oil and salt. Pour the water mixture over the rice mixture; stir gently to partially combine. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Carefully uncover the dish and fluff the rice mixture with a fork.
  3. Serving size: a scant ⅔ cup
