Looking for a rice recipe? Crispy baked rice with roasted tomatoes according to Ottolenghi – super delicious!
Looking for a rice recipe?! I really like baked rice with roasted tomatoes – based on a recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi. Crispy Rice has been on everyone’s lips for a long time – it became a trend dish on TikTok as Crispy Rice Salad! I think it’s absolutely right that crispy rice tastes delicious. The classic crispy rice is usually marinated with chili or soy sauce and then usually baked in the air fryer. I really like that too because it’s super quick. This recipe also makes the rice crispy, but here slow-roasted tomatoes with cinnamon sticks, herbs and olive oil are the perfect starting point for the rice. It is “cooked” in the oven with the tomatoes and then baked until crispy. So delicious, you should try it again!
This rice recipe is…
- spicy
- Mediterranean
- crispy
- aromatic
The rice recipe combines two absolute favorite ingredients:
Tomatoes and crispy rice – both are delicious on their own, but in this combination they are a real must on the plate. The tomatoes are slowly roasted in the oven with cinnamon sticks, garlic and herbs. This creates an incredible sweetness that harmonizes perfectly with the spicy aromas. The dish is uncomplicated, looks great and brings a breath of fresh air to the plate. It is also perfect for guests. The first time I ate it was at a Christmas party at my friend’s house and she simply combined a large quantity of it with a vegetable chili that was simmering on the stove. Just the kind of recipe you’ll want to cook again and again!

If you love tomatoes and Ottolenghi as much as I do…
- Then check out Jamie Oliver’s tomato dukkah, it’s simple and full of flavor.
- Ottolenghi’s fish from the oven is also a real highlight that goes perfectly with this tomato recipe.
- For cool evenings I recommend the oven soup with tomato and pepper – wonderfully spicy.
- Matbucha, the Moroccan tomato dish, is also very exciting and you definitely have to try it!
- And on hot days, nothing beats Ottolenghi’s tomato carpaccio – light, fresh and simply delicious.
