Oven Baked Pork Chops – easy one-sheet pan meal with juicy and tasty pork chops and roasted veggies on the side. A perfect family-friendly meal for a quick weeknight dinner!

I did my groceries last weekend, only to find out that I haven’t cleared up all of my meat in the freezer. 

First off, I didn’t check out my freezer before I step out of the house. Second, I’m pretty thankful how easy pork chops are to deal with. Agree? And one of my favorite way of preparing them is this Oven Baked Pork Chops with vegetables.

How to season pork chops?

Pork chops are without a doubt one of the easiest meat to season. You can either marinade them or simply slather with a dry rub. Whatever you choose, they always turn out absolutely great and perfect for busy weeknights or dinner date nights at home. As a matter of act, even salt and pepper would do.

But I’d love to experiment! So I ended up with oven baked pork chops seasoned with my trusted homemade creole seasoning for warm flavors, along with thyme and garlic, Dijon mustard for a bit of acid and brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and a beautiful caramelization.

Since pork chops are a tender and quick-cooking meat cut, I always prefer to bake it in the oven as the gentle heat of the oven let us control the rate of cooking. Cooking them on a stovetop makes it absolutely easier for us to overcook them. 

For a bone-in chop of about a 1/2-3/4 inch thick, I suggest you cook them around 18-22 minutes at 400 F  or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degress F. Additionally, pork chops with bone-in are quite juicier compared to the boneless one, so I highly suggest you buy the ones with bone-in.

On the other hand, if boneless pork chops are more appealing to you, you can cook your oven baked pork chops at around 15-19 minutes at 400 F. But if you have a thicker cut around 1 inch or so, try adding a few more minutes or until the thickest part reads 145 F degrees.

Moreover, don’t forget to cut the potatoes no larger than 4 cm/ 1 1/2 inch in diameter, or else they don’t cooked at a prescribed time. You can cut the carrots in chunks but I prefer to have it lengthwise so it’ll cook properly.

These oven baked pork chops are without a doubt a family hit even to the most picky eater you have. Want more pork chop recipes? Try these easy Pan Fried Boneless Pork Chops here, Smothered Pork Chops  OR this Marinated Pork Chops.

Tips and Notes

1. You may leave out the vegetables and just bake the pork  or add whatever vegetables you wish to pair with your pork chops.
2. Additionally, for thicker pork chop cut around 1 inch thick or so, try adding more cooking minutes until the thickest part reads 145 F degrees.
3. Make sure to cut the potatoes small , so it cooks properly. If potatoes are not cooked, remove pork chops and continue cooking the potatoes. DO NOT over cook the pork chops.
4. If desired, broil the chops for an additional 2-3 minutes until it caramelized.
