I might add that although this is grammatical, it is a very harsh-sounding sentence. This would only be used in a prison, or similar type of situation.
In everyday usage you would more likely hear:
Clean your plate.
I don't want to see anything left on your plate.
Eat everything on your plate.
Lick your plate clean.
