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 stepped out of the house. Second, I’m pretty thankful for how easy pork chops are to deal with. Agreed? And one of my favorite ways of preparing them is this Oven Baked Pork Chops with vegetables. Additionally, it really can’t get easier than this with a one sheet hearty recipe.
How to season pork chops?
Pork chops are without a doubt one of the easiest meats to season. You can either marinate 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 fact, even salt and pepper would do.
But I 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 acidity, and brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and a beautiful caramelization.
How long should I bake pork chops?
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 lets me control the rate of cooking. Cooking them on a stovetop makes it easier 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.
How long to bake boneless pork chops?
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 cook at a prescribed time. You can cut the carrots in chunks but I prefer to have it lengthwise so they’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.

These were delicious! I was looking for something a little different from my usual pork chop dish and thus recipe nailed it. Love the homemade Cajun seasoning; I think next year I may mix it up and give it as part of a Christmas gift basket to each of my kids.

Norma says
This was such a good meal! Lots of great flavor! It’s wonderful to have everything on one pan, and most importantly you planned each item so it would cook evenly along with everything else! I used smoked paprika in your creole seasoning which I think added a lot. Thanks for a great recipe that we really enjoyed!
