For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water. You can also add a pinch of turmeric for color and extra flavor. Feel free to customize this recipe with other vegetables like peas, corn, or chopped green onions. If you don't have French-fried onions, toasted slivered almonds or chopped cashews make a delicious substitute. To make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth or water. To make it vegan, check the ingredients of the French-fried onions.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, gently fluff the cooked rice with a fork to separate the grains. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
7 mins
Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced red bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring frequently. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Add the seasoned rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and the liquid has been absorbed. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently fold in the crushed French-fried onions, reserving a small amount for garnish. Toss lightly to combine, ensuring the onions remain somewhat crunchy. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the Funfetti® Rice to a serving dish. Garnish with the remaining crushed French-fried onions for added texture and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Feb 18, 2025Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, you want them to still have a little bit of a crunch.
