Sheet Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Prepare the Pork Chops:

  • Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to help the seasonings stick.
  • Rub the pork chops with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Set aside.

Prepare the Potatoes:

  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

Assemble the Sheet Pan:

  • Arrange the pork chops and potatoes on the sheet pan. Spread the potatoes in a single layer around the pork chops to ensure even roasting.
  • Optionally, drizzle melted butter over the potatoes for extra flavor.

Bake:

  • Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  • Check for doneness: the pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and the potatoes should be golden and tender.

Serve:

  • Let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes after removing them from the oven. Serve hot alongside the roasted potatoes.
