Low-energy prep tip
Dump raw ingredients in a dish and bake; no stove monitoring.
Recipe notes
Resting time: 10 minutes in addition to cooking. Brown rice needs a different liquid ratio and cooking time.
Dietary labels apply only when all packaged ingredients meet those requirements. Check labels and cross-contact guidance for your needs. Salt is optional where listed; follow your own care plan rather than using a recipe to set sodium intake.
