How to make One-Pan Baked Rice and Vegetables
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Place the paprika, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until combined and set aside.
Step 3: Add the rice to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish along with broth, water, garlic, sliced carrots, and butter. Then, add 1 1/2 tsp of the seasoning mix. Mix well. Using foil, tightly cover the baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
