The right option is “The food ON your plate” since the food is on its surface. The word “IN” can be used when referring to a bowl or to another similar container.

Native speakers use both. Currently, in printed text, "on" the plate is used about 70% of the time and "in" the plate about 30% of the time. About 150 years ago, "in" was more popular.
Here is a Google N-gram showing the frequency of "on the plate" and "in the plate."

Do you put food inside the plate? no. You put it on top of the plate and then eat it.
