Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 3 cups cooked rice

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped

  • ½ carrot, chopped

  • ½ stalk celery, chopped

  • ¼ cup water

  • ½ cup French-fried onions

Directions

  1. Place rice in a large bowl. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, carrot, and celery; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add seasoned rice and water; cook until rice is heated through, about 5 minutes. Add French-fried onions; toss to combine.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute green bell pepper for the red if preferred.

I like to keep extra seasoned rice stashed in the freezer.
