Oven Baked Rice And Vegetables

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) / 180C/350F (fan / convection).

Step 2

Mix Spice Mix in a small bowl.

Step 3

Place Rice ingredients in a baking dish (including the carrots), about 23 x 30 cm /  9 x 13". Add 1 1/2 tsp Spice Mix. Stir, cover with foil, bake for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place Roasting Vegetable ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle over remaining Spice Mix. Mix well - hands are best for this.

Step 5

Remove rice from oven.

Step 6

Turn oven UP to 220C/430F (standard) / 200C/390F (fan / convection).

Step 7

Take off foil. Spread the Roasting Vegetables on top of the rice. Make sure there's a bit of each type of vegetable on the surface. Push corn mostly under.

Step 8

Drizzle with more oil (optional), sprinkle with more pepper.

Step 9

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, rest for 5 - 10 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Push vegetables aside, fluff rice and toss it through the vegetables a bit (rice gets more flavour). Serve!
