Sheet pan dinners are not only easy to make, but they are the ultimate no mess way to use whatever proteins and vegetables you have on hand. Whether it’s a sheet pan salmon recipe, sheet pan Lebanese chicken shawarma or sheet pan grilled cheese sandwiches, you really can’t beat the ease of this one pan dinner cooking method. This delicious sheet pan pork chops dish doesn’t use very many ingredients, cooks all on one pan, but combines unique flavors like apples and sweet potatoes to bring together a fantastic meal the whole family will enjoy! Fresh herbs are the secret to the strong flavor crust on these chops.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Should pork chops be covered or uncovered in the oven?

Cook pork chops uncovered in the oven. You can cover with foil after taking them out to let them rest if you wish.

Do you have to brown pork chops before baking?

You can, but it isn’t necessary as long as you season and prepare your pan correctly.

What is the secret to tender pork chops?

Use a thicker cut, and keep the bone on while you cook!

    I am disappointed in the results of this recipe. You listed the prep time as 10 minutes, which was not even close for me. It takes 10 minutes to wash the apples, sweet potatoes, and onion before even slicing them. There were no measurements for each of the spices. Cooking all the ingredients at the same time does not work. The chops get done faster than the sweet potatoes, which remain rigid and not cooked thoroughly. I had to remove the pork chops and cook the onions and sweet potatoes. I do not like pork chops that do not have a brown and crusty sear. The pork chops were juicy but did not look appealing to me. Furthermore, I did not enjoy the selection of spices for this recipe. I definitely would not cook this recipe again.
