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.

    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!

    Ive never left a review of a recipe but WOW!! These were amazing, definitely will be making these again! I had boneless porkchops in the freezer so I used those, but I will definitely try bone-in next time.

    Hi, this recipe sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try it! I have one question is the calorie count for the chop only,or does it include a seving of the vegetables?

      Hello , I Have updated nutrition calculator. It’s for the pork and vegetables. However, keep in mind that this is just an estimate . It might vary depending on the thickness of the pork.
      Hope this helps.

    Awesome recipe! My wife and I really enjoyed it. I normally BBQ most of the meat we eat. It was nice to try something like this in the oven. We’ll definitely be trying this again. I did use Cajun seasoning instead of creole and Italian seasoning instead of thyme (only because we didn’t have them) still was awesome!!!

    I am new to your recipes/website. I made this last night and my tastebuds are still salivating! What a wonderful sauce, very tasty. And my pork chops were so juicy, not dry. Thank you. I’m looking forward to many more delicious endeavors.

    I made the seasoning and baked the chops just as the instructions said and it was scrumptious!! I prepared the potatoes and carrots in a separate dish and sprinkled some of the Cajun dressing on them and they were so tasty and tender. Thank you for this recipe. No fried pork chops for me!

    Not posting a rating, as I have yet to make this recipe. I have a question about the seasonings. You say, “Creole seasoning”, followed by (homemade here), then list several other herbs and spices. I would like to try this recipe. I want to make sure I get it right. So my question is…Do you use already made Creole seasoning AND all the other stuff? Or do the other herbs and spices create the Creole seasoning? And last, if the answer to my original question is the former, what is your recipe for your homemade?

    We tried your recipe today. It worked really well! I added a little brown sugar on top. My porkchops were a bit thick, so it took about 30 minutes to reach the right temp. But they were delicious!!! Thank you

    Only changes I made were omitted mustard and thyme (Im not a fan of either). These came out juicy and delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

    These are great! Is there a similar recipe with chicken? Or would I have to modify this to make it with chicken? Some of my neighbors don’t eat pork but I think they would like the flavors.

    Made this tonight, with 3 teenagers I made two baking sheets (?) with pork chops and a deep pan with potatoes, carrot, green beans and beetroot. Great tasting!

    Ok, first of all, I never leave feedback on recipes I’ve tried…ever…but, this recipe deserves recognition. I made this tonight with 6 thick cut pork chops that I just brushed this marinade on and baked in two 9×11 baking dishes covered for 45 minutes. Followed the recipe completely, other than baking in covered dishes. This was absolutely amazing! Didn’t need any extra anything! My boys usually douse their chops in bbq sauce or ranch, no matter how long I marinade them. Nothing extra was needed for anyone! This was really delicious, thank you so much for this amazing recipe. This will be my forever go to for pork chops!

    I just wanted to thank you for this fantastic recipe! I came to your site for the fried cabbage recipe and ended up making these pork chops and the cabbage AND the pinto beans. Even nbn CB single one was a hit! Thank you!!

    I am baking with a Hawaiian sauce for slow cookers (Campbell’s) instead marinating or dry rub. Chops are bone-in (1/4 thick). I am seasoning the chops w/very little seasoning, since the sauce will add the flavor. Can’t wait to see how they turn out.

    I live in Cajun/Creole country (Deep East Texas) and there is quite a variety of Creole/Cajun seasonings available, but all are way to salty for my taste. Your Creole seasoning recipe is fantastic and allows me to control the salt to my taste and in my diet. The pork chops were absolutely delicious !

      Agree! I always try to make my own seasonings, where possible to be in control of the salt. So happy to hear the pork chops worked out well for you. Thanks for the feedback.

    Do you have the chops with the kidney still in? You can only get them in the UK if you talk nicely to you Butcher! But I shall try this lovely recipe next week-end for the Sunday lunch. Thank you again.

    Thank you, I can’t wait to try this! And I agree with you about bone-in pork chops – they are MUCH better. Boneless chops do not compare.
