1. Rinse the rice and set it aside to drain.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add the salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, coriander, and cinnamon to the pan and stir well.
4. Add the rice to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is well coated with the spices and the oil.
