Instructions

START WITH...

Collecting all your ingredients - This will make cooking so much easier. Gather all the spices you will need, and keep them nearby.

Preheat your oven - Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Chopping the scallions and pineapple - Finely chop the scallions, and cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces.

Cook the rice - If you are not using leftover rice, prepare a batch of jasmine rice. I advise making it a little earlier in the day, as cold rice works best for this recipe.

Step by step instructions to prepare fried rice on a sheet pan

Drizzle the sheet pan with olive oil: Drizzle a baking sheet liberally with olive oil.
Spread out leftover rice: Add the leftover rice to a baking sheet, and spread it out in an even layer. Top with the the remaining ingredients, except for the scallions and egg. Combine well, and flatten into an even layer.
Bake: Bake the rice for 15 minutes. While the rice is in the oven, crack and whisk an egg.
Add the egg: Remove the rice from the oven, and create a well in the middle. Pour in the whisked egg, and return to the oven for 2 minutes.
Mix: Remove the rice from the oven once again, and scramble the egg into the rice. Mix together, and top with fresh scallions.

Expert Tip

Do not stir the rice while it is in the oven! Letting it be on the baking sheet will give the rice some crispy texture, which is super delicious!

Substitutions

Jasmine rice - Instead of jasmine rice, use brown rice for a lighter twist
Soy sauce -Feel free to substitute tamari or coconut aminos for regular soy sauce
Fresh pineapple - Substitute with canned pineapple if you do not have fresh, or sweet pineapple on hand

Variations

Spicy - add some thai red chilli, or sriracha to the fried rice for a kick!
Vegetarian - leave out the egg for a vegetarian side!
