What Makes Sheet Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes Irresistible?
The beauty of this recipe lies in the perfect pairing of succulent pork chops and tender potatoes, both roasting to perfection in the oven. The potatoes become deliciously crispy on the edges while remaining fluffy inside, and the pork chops stay moist and infused with flavor. Roasting everything together not only melds the ingredients but also makes for an easy, fuss-free cleanup—deliciousness in its simplest form.
Getting Your Ingredients Prepped
Preparation is a breeze with a little help from modern kitchen tools. Quickly chop potatoes, onions, and any additional vegetables you’d like with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for uniform pieces that will roast evenly. This step saves you valuable time and ensures perfect results.
For lining your sheet pan—and making cleanup a snap—use the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. The parchment prevents sticking and keeps your pan looking like new.
How to Roast for Flavors That Pop
Achieving golden, crispy potatoes and perfectly-cooked pork chops is all about oven temperature and arrangement. Start by tossing your vegetables in olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs, then lay them flat so they roast evenly. Place seasoned pork chops above or nestled between the potatoes.
If you want to check for doneness with absolute accuracy, insert the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking into the thickest part of a pork chop; it should read 145°F for safe enjoyment.
Serving and Storing Your Sheet Pan Dinner
After roasting, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes to keep their juices locked in. Serve straight from the pan for a rustic presentation, or portion out your meal into the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for convenient lunches or meal preps throughout the week.
Pair your meal with a simple green salad or roasted green beans for extra brightness. Don’t forget to drizzle with any pan juices for an extra punch of flavor!
