For enhanced flavor, toast the brown rice in the dry baking dish for 5 minutes before adding the oil and water. Customize your rice by adding spices like cumin, turmeric, or herbs de Provence before baking. Make a larger batch and store leftovers in the refrigerator for quick and easy meals throughout the week. Reheat with a splash of water to maintain moisture. Try using broth instead of water for even more flavor.
