One-Pan Pork Chops & Potatoes: Simple, Flavorful, and Nutrient-Rich

When weeknights feel chaotic, this One-Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes recipe comes to the rescue — flavorful and easy enough to become a regular in your dinner rotation  With just a handful of pantry spices, a drizzle of oil, some potatoes, and a few pork chops roasted together on a single sheet pan, cleanup is minimal and and dinner is delciious.

Instructions

1. Whip up the seasoning – Mix together Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and a couple spoonfuls of olive oil. 

2. Prep the potatoes – Chop into even chunks, toss with olive oil and half of your seasoning blend, then spread onto a sheet pan. Roast for about 10 minutes to get them started. 

3. Season the chops – Rub pork chops with the remaining seasoning blend and a drizzle of olive oil so the flavors really stick. 

4. Combine on the pan – Pull the potatoes from the oven and lay the seasoned chops right on top of the same sheet pan.

5. Roast until done – Continue roasting until the potatoes are golden and tender, and the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (about 20–25 minutes). Look for a slight blush of pink in the center.

6. Rest & serve – Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in juiciness.

That’s it—minimal effort, maximum payoff. A simple one-pan dinner that feels hearty, flavorful, and satisfying.

Tips You Can Use 

• Lean into spices with bold flavors like smoked paprika—you’ll be amazed how depthful they make the dish.

• Choose bone-in or thick-cut chops for juicier results and extra flavor.

• Roast until just done, then let the meat rest briefly to keep it juicy.

• Make it a complete meal by adding vegetables like green beans or Brussels sprouts on the same pan — just toss them in with the potatoes.
