If you're looking for a simple and delicious meal that you can whip up in no time, sheet-pan fried rice is the perfect option. This recipe is quick, easy, and adaptable.

Traditional fried rice, typically made in a wok or skillet, is a hands-on experience with a lot of ingredients, requiring a fair amount of prep time, slicing, and dicing. You’re also tied to the stove, as you must constantly stir as the dish cooks. Not the case with our sheet-pan fried rice. Because it’s cooked in the oven, you’re free to go about your business while it cooks. The high heat also gives the rice a slight crispiness that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Like most sheet-pan meals, this fried rice is made in just one pan, which means minimal clean-up – perfect for those busy weeknights when you want a tasty meal without spending hours in the kitchen. To make our sheet-pan fried rice even faster and more convenient to make, it only has a few ingredients, and two of them are frozen vegetables and rice, which are both great staples to keep on hand for last-minute dinners.

This sheet-pan fried rice is not only delicious, but it's also a great way to use up leftovers and reduce food waste. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and make it your own. Enjoy this easy and flavorful meal that's sure to become a new weeknight favorite in your household.
