Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cold cooked white rice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold cooked rice, melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
- Spread the rice mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer with small clusters.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping sections halfway through baking, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crisps to cool for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and parsley if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use chilled leftover rice for the crispiest texture.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray or the rice may steam instead of crisp.
- Add chili flakes for a spicy version.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispiness.
