Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, sesame seeds, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Spread the mixture in an even, thin layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to pat it down firmly, ensuring that it sticks together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown and crispy. Check halfway through and rotate the baking tray for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. It will continue to crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, carefully break the crispy rice sheet into bite-sized pieces or squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
