This recipe is great for the middle of the week when you have to come up with a fast dinner for your family. You don’t need a lot of ingredients, it is easy to make, healthy and also very delicious. Serve it with a green salad and you are here for a feast. Leftovers are great too.

How To Make Pork Chops With Roasted Vegetables:

Preheat the oven to 475F. Yes, I know, it is super hot, but you want dinner fast, right? So, stay with me!

In a large bag place the pork chops with the oil, lemon juice and spices. Close the bag and massage the meat with the juices inside the bag. Place in the refrigerator while you are getting the vegetables ready.

Clean, slice and chop your veggies. Place them on a baking tray. This is a picture when I used broccoli.

This is an older picture where I used green beans.

You can use whatever you like. If you hate broccoli, use green beans. Or brussel sprouts. Or carrots. Or…I don’t know, lots of things available out there. Play with them and discover your favorites.

Season them with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme. Keep it simple, but again, if you hate thyme, replace it with paprika. If you are brave enough, use some smoked paprika instead if available. Maybe some coriander powder? Or maybe some oregano? You choose!

Use your clean hands and mix everything together, so all the vegetables get touched by the spices and oil.

Finally, take the meat out of the fridge and place it on top of the veggies. Add the marinade also, it will bring more flavors to the vegetables.

Bake for 25 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip the meat, so it gets cooked more evenly. Before you serve, check to see if the potatoes are cooked. If not,  keep baking for another 7-8 minutes.

Serve the pork chops and vegetables with a green, simple salad and voila, you have dinner. What do you think? Are you going to try it? If yes, leave a note under the comments. And enjoy! See you next time!
