How To Make Pork Chops and Roasted Vegetables on a Sheet Pan:

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

Marinate the meat first:

Place the pork chops with the oil, lemon juice, and spices in a large plastic bag. Close the bag and massage the meat with the juices inside the bag. 

Place it 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.

What kind of vegetables you need for these baked pork chops with vegetables:

You can use whatever you like or whatever is available. If you don’t like broccoli, use green beans. Do you like Brussel sprouts? Carrots? Sweet potatoes?

What about wedges of cabbage instead of Brussel sprouts, parsnips, or even cauliflower? Play with them and discover YOUR favorite combination.

What kind of spices you need to use:

The recipe is versatile as you can use whatever you have in your pantry. The main ingredients could be just oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme.

Keep it simple, but again, if you hate thyme, replace it paprika, for example. 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 and the rest of the veggies are cooked. If not,  keep baking for another 7-8 minutes.

I don’t have pork chops. Can I use other pork cuts?

Yes, pork with roasted vegetables is a versatile recipe that can be adjusted based on your ingredients. You can also use slices of pork shoulder, or pork tenderloin. The idea is to have the meat sliced already, as it cooks at the same time with the vegetables.

How do you know if the meat is cooked?

Check the internal temperature(affiliate link) of the pork chops, they need to be at 160F with no pink inside.

Serve the pork chops and vegetables with a green, simple salad, and voila, you have dinner.

Storing leftovers and reheating them:

Store the leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The leftovers make a great lunch or even another dinner if you plan for that.

Reheat them in the oven, covered, at 350F or in the microwave. A great idea for a light, delicious lunch would be to slice the meat into bite-size pieces and use them with the veggies in a tortilla or pita bread wrap.

I would not recommend freezing this dish.
