Italian Sheet Pan Pork Chops
Italian Sheet Pan Pork Chops are the best one-pan juicy and tender pork chops. They're easy to make, the vegetables make it a complete weeknight meal.
Equipment
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 4 Bone-in pork chops, ½-¾ inch thin cut
- ½ pound Green beans, rinsed and trimmed
- 1 Summer squash, quartered, then cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- ½ White onion, cut into quarters
- 4 Tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup Grated parmesan
- 3 Tablespoons Shredded parmesan, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Cut the vegetables and place them into a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oil and seasonings. Pour half of it over the vegetables along with the grated parmesan cheese and toss. Set aside.
- Pound the pork chops to tenderize, then brush the remaining seasoning mixture over both sides to coat. Arrange the one one half of the sheet pan.
- Spread the vegetables evenly on the other side of the sheet pan.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 8 minutes, then flip the pork chops and bake for an additional 8 minutes.
- Turn the broiler on high and broil for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan to serve.
Christina's Notes
- Marinate Ahead: A quick soak in Italian dressing or olive oil, garlic, and herbs boosts flavor and tenderizes the meat. Even 30 minutes makes a difference.
- Cut Veggies Evenly: Uniform pieces roast at the same rate. Aim for ¾-inch chunks for potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Use High Heat: Roast at 425°F to get caramelized edges and golden browning without overcooking the pork.
- Stagger your Timing: Start denser veggies like potatoes first, then add pork chops and quicker-cooking vegetables halfway through.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Space everything out to allow air circulation. Crowding leads to steaming instead of roasting.
