Sheet Pan Pork Chop Dinner

This Sheet Pan Pork Chop dinner combines juicy bone-in center cut pork chops, fingerling potatoes, carrots, and a scrumptious dry ranch seasoning blend. It is a hearty meal that pairs well with our kale apple salad, homemade applesauce, and a warm dinner roll on the side.

We love the versatility of this meal because you can choose any combination of vegetable that you have on hand. From asparagus and green beans, to squash and sweet potatoes; this recipe can be made to suite your preferences and use up what you have in your kitchen.

Bone-in pork chops create a rich flavor while infusing juices into the meat. The seasoning blend builds a caramelized crust that deepens and enriches the pork chops, while the assorted roasted veggies bring variety and texture.

Do you cover pork chops when baking?

Baking sheet pan pork chops improperly can result in dry, chewy meat so it is important to take care that you are preparing and cooking them correctly. We recommend cooking the pork chops uncovered at 350-400 degrees F, depending how hot your oven cooks, for 20 minutes.

This will allow a lovely sear to create on the surface of the meat and veggies, locking in flavor and juices. Once the initial cook time has expired, turn the chops over and finish seasoning them. Cover with foil and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the pork chops has reached 145 degrees F.

How do you keep pork chops moist while cooking?

To keep the moisture and flavor locked in the chops, we recommend basting them during the cooking process with fats. Butter and the juices from the pork chops can be spooned over the surface of the chops periodically. This helps to add flavor while preventing the chops from becoming dry and chewy.

Baste one final time before covering with foil and finishing the cooking process until the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F.

What can I bake with pork chops?

A wide variety of vegetables, and even some fruits can be cooked with sheet pan pork chops. We kept it simple with garden fresh potatoes and carrots, but you can get creative and dress this dinner up a lot. Here are some ideas to get you going.

  • Change up the seasonings that you use. Sheet-pan Italian pork chops is always a hit
