Sheet Pan Parmesan Pork Chops
Simple Parmesan Pork Chops and Baby Potatoes baked together on one sheet pan for a quick delicious dinner with an easy clean up!
Ingredients
- 6 (1-inch) thick pork chops
- 2-1/2 pound baby potatoes (yellow, red or mixed.)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Seasoning Mix:
- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese (like Kraft, found in the spaghetti aisle)
- 2 Tbsp powdered Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning mix
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Herbs de Provence (or Italian seasoning)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 and line a large baking sheet with foil.
- Place the pork chops on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
- Wash your potatoes and pat dry. If they are larger in size, cut them in half. Place them on the other half of the baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the pork chops and the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together the parmesan cheese with the rest of the seasonings.
- Sprinkle about 3/4 of the seasoning all over the chops and potatoes and use your hands to toss it all together well.
- Sprinkle the additional seasoning over the top of the chops and pat down.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until your pork chops are at least 150 degrees and your potatoes are fork tender.
- Serve with a side salad or veggies! (We like corn or corn on the cob.)
Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- I get my inch thick pork chops at Sams Club - they are very reasonably priced there and come six to a package.
- I also buy my baby potatoes at Sams Club or Costco. They come in a 5lb bag of mixed red and yellow for much less than I pay at the grocery store in my area and I just use half the bag so I have two meals out of it.
- Pork must register 145 degrees to be safe to eat. I like mine more at 150 or more. I always check that it's higher than 150 with an instant read thermometer before serving. An instant read thermometer will change your meat cooking life - way better than guessing if it's done!
- I love Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix - you can buy it in large containers or small packets - I have not found homemade ranch mix to give the same results.
