Sheet Pan Fried Rice (Vegan & One Pan)
This Sheet Pan Fried Rice (Vegan) is even better than takeout! It’s all made on one pan for an easy cleanup and prep, is a family favourite takes only 10 minutes of prep!
For the last three months, I’ve really been working ahead recipe wise. It’s been pretty helpful because I now have months worth of content, I got to launch another blog, and I feel like I’m finally getting on top of some of the strictly business side of things. The only thing is – I’ve been waiting SO long to share this beauty with you!! Oh my gosh, Sheet Pan Fried Rice – let me count the ways!!
This Sheet Pan Fried Rice really is the answer to your prayers. It’s made easily on a sheet pan – so legit the world’s easiest cleanup. It’s packed with protein, carbs, fibre – all the things! The sauce is super yummy and you even mix it on the sheet pan. Then BAM – in the oven, and you have dinner for a few days! It’s probably the easiest meal prep with the least amount of dishes I’ve done in a while. I also love that it uses up some great pantry and freezer ingredients so it’s really perfect all year round.
Sheet Pan Fried Rice Ingredients
I love how simple the ingredients are for this dish:
- Edamame
- Tofu
- Brown Rice
- Green Onions
- Pineapple (yasss)
- Cashew pieces
- Tamari or soy sauce
- Oil (I used sesame)
- Sriracha
That’s it! love all of these ingredients and they work together to turn this into an incredibly filling meal. I think out of the whole list, my favourite ingredient is the CASHEWS! They genuinely shocked me and I loved the flavour and texture so much. You already know I’m a cashew addict, so I’m 100% putting cashews into every fried rice ever from now on.
Green Plate Club
This recipe is from my friend Kiersten’s new site: Green Plate Club! This isn’t sponsored (it is an affiliate link), but I knew immediately that I wanted to help her share this new fantastic service that I know would come in handy for so many of you guys.
Green Plate Club is an online meal plan service that’s perfect if you’re like me and love plant-forward meals. Whether you’re always trying to figure out what to make next or just want to switch it, I highly recommend it. You get three full meatless meal plans every week (for recipes from Monday to Friday) a thorough grocery list and tips about your ingredients of the week in each one. The recipes not only taste amazing but also work with each other so that if you have leftover ingredients, you use them up in another dish. One of my fave parts about it is that she has options whether you’re vegan (like me), vegetarian or flexitarian. So it’s still meatless of course, but you can choose how many days work for you – and you still get ALL the recipes anyway! Total win, win. Go check it out!!

The minute I saw tofu and cashews, you had me hooked. I’ll try this tonite, since I just made a pot of rice yesterday and have all the ingredients at hand. Thanks for helping me stay out of the doldrums. It also looks like a great way to warm the house up a little, since it’s really been chilly lately.
Stay well! Thanks for thinking for us about what good food to serve. You are my favorite cook!

We’re happy you enjoyed the recipe Edana! We genuinely want to thank you for your kind words as well, they mean so much to us. Have a great day!
I doubled the recipe and did a few additions and subtractions. We had lunch with another family. It was the perfect addition to their curry. It is something I will make again.
Oh wow that’s great Brandy! This recipe sounds great with curry. We’re happy that you liked it!
Oh my goodness this was totally awesome and got two thumbs up from hubby
Question did you use precooked marinated tofu?
I created a marinade and basted my tofu and left it to marinade by itself for an hour before adding it to the mix and so I didn’t find it crisped up as much as I would have liked/expected
Hi Charmaine. We pressed our tofu first. We Then marinated it then baked it. It turned out pretty crispy! I hope this was helpful!
Wow, yum! This looks so delicious!
Thank you Tori! I’m happy you like it!
It was perfect the first time. I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.
Aww thank you so much! I will keep it up! Thanks again for your kind words!
This looks great and I’d like to cook this soon! Two questions:
1) I’d like to try some “Just Egg” with this, but I’ve never used it. Would it work in this recipe?
2) Is it OK if I use freshly cooked rice, or does it need to be day-old rice (I think I read that somewhere).
Thanks! I love your recipes and blog!
Hi, Renee thank you so much for reading! We’ve never tried this recipe with just egg before so we couldn’t give you proper instructions. As for the rice while technically it could still work the texture of the rice would be wrong if it isn’t day-old rice. I hope this helps!
This was easy and delish, with awesome texture! I added some broccoli and carrot I needed to use up, and drizzled some agave over the top before putting in the oven. So good. Thank you!
Thank you so much for reading Kylie! Your additions sound great. We’re so happy that you enjoyed it.
This was such an EASY and delicious meal!! My husband and I don’t really eat tofu, so I diced some chicken instead and it cooked up perfectly! This is definitely a dinner I’ll be making again and again!
We’re so happy that you and your husband enjoyed this recipe, Stephanie. Thank you for reading and leaving such a positive comment!
I made this last night but substituted rice for quinoa and cashews for peanuts (because it’s all I had) and it was AMAZING. So flavorful and delicious and easy! My whole family loved it!
We’re so happy that you enjoyed this recipe Samantha! Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a nice comment!
