Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan. Lightly grease a baking tray with olive oil. A fan oven will yield the crispiest results.

2

Place the rice and water into a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to a boil and cook for 35-40 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed the water.
