Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz chow mein noodles
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the sauce. This will be used to coat the noodles and vegetables.
- Place the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss gently to ensure even coating.
- Spread the sauce-coated noodles evenly across the prepared sheet pan, creating a single layer to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Arrange sliced bell peppers, julienned carrots, and snap peas around and on top of the noodles. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the vegetables.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through cooking, use tongs to gently toss the noodles and vegetables to ensure even browning.
- Remove from oven when noodles are golden and crispy at the edges, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Let the sheet pan chow mein rest for 2-3 minutes after removing from the oven. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to cool slightly.
- Serve hot, directly from the sheet pan, garnishing with optional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips
- • Use parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan - ensure noodles and vegetables are in a single layer for even cooking • Toss the noodles midway through cooking to achieve golden, crispy edges • For extra flavor, consider adding protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu before roasting • If you prefer softer noodles, reduce cooking time by 2-3 minutes • Fresh vegetables are key - choose crisp, colorful bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas • Customize the sauce by adding a touch of honey for sweetness or sriracha for heat • Let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld together
