Slow Cooker Rice

Slow Cooker Rice

This hands-off cooking method is the secret to getting a fluffy, tender side dish on the table with minimal effort. Using a slow cooker ensures even heat distribution, preventing the rice from burning or clumping, while the addition of vegan butter adds a subtle richness.

    Pour in the water (1.5 cup) and add the plant based butter (1 tbsp) if you are using it.

  4. 4

    Cover with the lid and cook on the low setting for 120 to 150 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Uncover the slow cooker, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and serve immediately.
