  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish or oven safe skillet with olive oil.

  3. Mix everything well until the vegetables and seasoning are evenly distributed through the rice.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press it into an even layer.

  • Cut vegetables evenly so they cook at the same rate.
  • Let the dish rest briefly after baking for cleaner serving.
