Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Rice is what's happening today and I am just a little bit excited by it because it involves three of my favourite things:
- rice
- mushrooms
- lots of garlic
It's got a pretty short ingredient list and is really, really easy to make. It is also completely oil-free and gluten-free but still incredibly tasty, pretty budget friendly and really filling (thank you rice!).
Yes! Any meal that involves a combo of hearty rice, mushrooms and garlic is a winner for me.
I'm still absolutely crazy about my Garlic Mushroom Risotto. It's so good, but pretty indulgent and plus you have to stand over it and stir constantly while it cooks. This Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Rice is a hands off, lightened up, less indulgent garlic, mushroom, rice combo.
I am using U.S grown rice in this recipe because it's about as local as you can get here in Canada. We don't produce it all so most of the rice consumed here originates from the U.S.
I think my family alone keeps the rice producers in business. We eat crazy amounts! Mostly because we love it, but also because it's budget friendly, versatile and kid (or big kid) friendly.
Today it becomes the perfect vessel for all of the mushroomy, garlicky goodness going on in this recipe. Rice win! ????
How to make Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Rice
One-pot meals are where my life is at lately. When I'm busy I love to just throw everything in and walk away and this is one of those recipes.
Put everything in a large ceramic or glass baking dish cover with foil and bake. Simple as that. Flimsy/thin metal pans won't provide even heating and might affect how the rice cooks.
Healthy & allergy friendly
Rice is a great base for family meals because it's allergy friendly, nutritious, low in calories (about 108 calories per half cup serving), naturally sodium free, cholesterol free and it's a great source of B vitamins, phosphorous, zinc and plant-based protein.
It's also really easy to cook, especially in this Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Recipe. Your oven does all of the hard work and produces a steaming dish full of garlicky mushroomy goodness which is not only vegan, it's also low in calories, completely oil-free & naturally gluten-free. Plus it's perfect for those watching their sodium intake. Just omit the added salt and use either homemade broth or a low sodium store bought variety.
This is why I am loving this Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Rice:
- You can feed a crowd with it - it makes a pretty big batch anyway but you can double, or triple it easily if you have lots of mouths to feed
- Dress it up or down - make it a quick family dinner or be a fancy pants and serve it with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan, a nice crisp salad, some garlic bread and wine
- You can make it ahead - mix everything up in the baking dish, cover with foil and pop in the fridge, then you can cook it when you are ready, just be careful that you don't slop the broth all over the place when you remove it from the fridge.
- It's perfect for reheating - take the leftovers to work the next day or double it up so that you have a complete meal ready for the next day. I do this a lot so I can have alternate lazy nights ????

Recipe
Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Rice
Author:Ingredients
- 400g / 2 cups long grain white rice , or basmati or jasmine (not brown)
- 840mls / 3½ cups flavourful broth , I like to use mushroom broth as it has the best flavour. It must be a good tasting broth as this is where a lot of the flavour will come from.
- 1 medium onion chopped finely
- 5 - 10 cloves garlic , chopped finely
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 550g / around 6 heaping cups sliced mushrooms
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 380*F
- Rinse the rice then place it in a large shallow ceramic or glass baking dish (not metal and not really deep). I use a 13 x 9-inch ceramic casserole like in the pictures.
- Add the onions and garlic then the seasoning and herbs. Stir together to evenly distribute then level out.
- Spread the chopped mushrooms evenly over the top.
- Pour over the broth then cover tightly with tin foil or a tight fitting lid. Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, remove the foil, check the rice is tender. If not give it a stir, cover and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Once rice is tender remove from the oven. If there is any visible liquid uncover and return to the oven for about 5 minutes and it will evaporate off.
- Serve immediately.

I am not a vegan but was asked to bring a vegan dish to our soldier potluck dinner. Made this with white rice, followed your directions and added two drained packages of frozen spinach before topping with mushrooms. What a HIT! All the folks, even fellow carnivores like myself, loved loved loved it! Am adding to my holiday and year-round recipe file. Thanks a million for sharing.

could vegan ground beef be added to this, put in raw or cook beef first.Thank you.
Melanie McDonald says
Yes. I'd saute it until golden first for the best flavour.
