Ingredients
- Pork chops: Usually a leaner cut of pork, you can use boneless pork chops, but keeping the bone on your pork chop if possible will help you get a more flavorful, tender cook.
- Olive oil: Heart healthy, light oil to help everything cook evenly and keep the seasoning on.
- Apples: I like to use a sweeter apple, like a gala or fuji, as it pairs nicely with the sweet potato.
- Onion: Yellow onion is a great choice for this dish as it adds flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Sweet potatoes: Sweet and nutty, they roast to a creamy texture.
- Fresh herbs: Rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, garlic. The options are endless, but make sure to use fresh to really make the flavors pop.
How to Make Sheet Pan Pork Chops with Apples, Onions, and Sweet Potatoes
Start your sheet pan pork chops by preparing your fresh herbs. I used sage, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to season my pork. Destem the herbs and finely mince them.
Then in a small bowl, grate some garlic with a microplane.
Add the minced herbs, salt and pepper, and drizzle in some olive oil.
Then on a prepared baking sheet, lay out your pork chops.
Take your herb mixture and coat both sides of the pork chops.
Then core and chop your apples, onion, and sweet potatoes.
Spread your chopped produce around the pork chops on the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil.
And sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste before tossing in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145.
Serve garnished with any extra fresh herbs, and enjoy your sheet pan pork chops with apples, onions, and sweet potatoes!
