Crispy Rice

This crispy rice recipe is a delicious way to add crunch to salads, bowls, and side dishes! It's easy to make on a sheet pan with 4 simple ingredients. This crispy rice recipe is one of my favorite ways to add crunch to salads and bowls. Easy to make on a sheet pan with just 4 ingredients, it transforms dry, dull day-old rice into something completely delicious. It’s crackly, toasty, and infused with nutty, savory flavor from tamari and sesame oil. I love it as the base of a bowl or salad or as a crunchy topping for roasted veggies, sweet potatoes, and more.I developed this crispy rice recipe after eating the most delicious crispy rice salad at a restaurant (shoutout to Hai Hai in Minneapolis!). I’d made crispy rice on the stove many times before, where one side of the rice gets crispy and the rest stays tender, but after eating that salad, I started craving a version that was entirely crisp and flavorful.Rather than frying batches of rice in a skillet, I found toasting it in the oven to be the easiest approach. Fast forward through several burned, bland, and not-quite-crispy tests, and I’ve nailed my recipe. I hope you love this crispy rice as much as I do! Crispy Rice Ingredients...
