Sheet Pan Fried Rice

This is such a great way to use leftover rice! And this sheet pan version is so easy with the crispiest edges. SO GOOD.
I am all for repurposing leftovers. And I am even more for it when you can make the best kind of fried rice on a sheet pan, yielding the crispiest, crunchiest edges.
The secret to this is using leftover dried out rice (brown or white). And you can also repurpose any leftover veggies here for a clean-out-the-fridge type meal. If you don’t like carrots or peas or mushrooms, you can leave it out and sub a veggie to your liking like zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, asparagus or even cabbage.
Serve with fried eggs (over easy or sunny side up or even soft boiled eggs), garnished with green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a complete meal.

Sheet Pan Fried Rice
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 tablespoons oyster sauce, divided
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cups leftover white or brown rice
- 1 ½ cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup frozen green peas
- 4 fried eggs
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine rice, mushrooms, onion, carrots, canola oil, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and remaining 5 tablespoons oyster sauce.
- Place rice mixture in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the rice begins to brown, about 15-18 minutes, stirring and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the baking sheet.

- Serve immediately with eggs, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

You can also put fried egg for the first time. In Indonesia called telur orak arik. It’s the first step making fried rice.
sounds good would definitely make the eggs scrambled as most fried rice served! just my thought and probably would not want rice to be browned?
Another winner added to the dinner rotation! I’m not a shrimp person so I throw some cooked chicken in. Yum.
Great flavor. Love that it bakes in the oven. My husband declared this recipe,”A keeper.” Will be adding this to my recipe rotation.
I added jalapeño & zucchini. It was delicious!!! Just like every other recipe I’ve tried. Thank you!
I made this last night and just loved it!!!! I did make a few changes. Instead of mushrooms I added frozen corn. Also, instead of frying the eggs I scrambled them. All in all the meal was delicious! Thank you for such an easy recipe 🙂
Thanks for this recipe!! Sooo easy and sooo good. Can’t wait for the leftovers tonight!! Not a “make you feel stuffed meal.”
I’m making this again, for my birthday
Looks so delicious I wish I could eat it now.Tracey
Love this, wondering if fish sauce would work in place of oyster sauce.
Do you think it would be possible to substitute frozen or leftover cauliflower rice?
Yummy! Do you have a recipe version for chicken instead of shrimp? Can’t wait to try this! Thanks!
I am loving this recipe even though I haven’t made it. Since it calls for cooked rice, and I am doing low carb, I am going to make it with cooked cauliflower rice.
I didn’t make his yet but I love this idea! Also that I can make a smaller version in a smaller pan, too! All your recipes are amazing so I know it’s going to be great!! Thanks!
