INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR SHEET PAN ITALIAN PORK CHOPS
- Hearty vegetables: Potatoes, broccoli florets and carrots.
- Olive oil: I prefer extra virgin olive oil for roasting vegetables.
- Seasonings: Garlic, oregano, salt and black pepper plus fresh rosemary add an Italian twist.
- Pork chops: Thick cut boneless pork chops. Bone-in pork chops will need to bake longer.
HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN SHEET PAN PORK CHOPS
To start, mix together olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and chopped rosemary in a small bowl.
In a medium or large bowl, toss together the cubed potatoes, broccoli florets, chopped carrots. Add olive mixture and stir to coat.
Place the mixture on half of the prepared baking sheet and bake.
Remove the pan from the oven and place pork chops on the pan, brush each chop with olive oil and then sprinkle each with a pinch or two of salt, pepper, oregano and rosemary, flip over and repeat.
Continue to bake until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
VARIATIONS
- Different veggies: Mix it up with seasonal vegetables! Asparagus in the spring, zucchini, peppers, green beans and tomatoes in the summer or sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts in the winter.
- Seasonings: Instead of oregano, try basil or an Italian seasoning blend!
- Fresh herbs: Instead of fresh rosemary, try parsley or thyme or a combination!
- Potatoes: Baby red potatoes would be a great choice!
- Garnish: Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
EXPERT TIPS
- Juicy pork chops: I recommended a thicker cut of pork chops so everything cooks evenly at the same time.
- Avoid dry pork chops: Different times are needed for the vegetables and pork chops. First partially cook the vegetables then add the pork chops so everything will get done at the same time!
- Internal temperature: Pork chops should be cooked to 160°F (71°C) internal temperature. Using a digital meat thermometer is best to ensure that pork chops are cooked through.
- Crispy vegetables: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of the baking time.
- Easier clean up: Line your pan with aluminum foil, parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Type of pan: Using a large sheet pan with an edge is best when making this pork chop sheet pan meal.
Recipe FAQS
Pork chop recipes can tend to be dry but this sheet pan pork chops recipe always turns out juicy, tender pork chops when I make it! I used thicker pork chops to ensure they don’t dry out, so if yours are thinner you will need to decrease your cooking time.
That’s my favorite thing about this pork chop sheet pan dinner, it’s a dinner all on its own! Of course feel free to add a side salad with creamy Italian dressing, homemade Italian bread or Italian focaccia bread.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
No, the potatoes would not freeze well and would be mushy when thawed. If you need a smaller portion, just cut the recipe in half.

Great recipe!!! Made this last night in my Power Air Fryer grill. I followed the recipe except I had no broccoli so I used zukes. OMG – everything came out so good. I baked the chops, potatoes and carrots at 400 degrees for 18 minutes; turned the pork added the zukes and cooked everything for another 10 minutes. The pork chops were so moist and tender. With the summer being so hot I can’t tell you how much I appreciate my Power Air Fryer grill. It doesn’t heat up the house and I can still have great meals. Thanks again for sharing this one pan meal.
Hi Kathi, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
Thank you so much for this simple meal idea. They are always the best. Have a nice day !
Thanks so much and yes they are. Have a great weekend.
One-pan meals are it!! Who wants to spend an hour or more in the kitchen cleaning up especially after he/she cooked? I’ve never used the oven for chops although we have for the tenderloin. Honey usually grills them – he LOVES to grill. I’ll have to try this out. I’m pinning! I see you’re doing a different format in your posts 🙂
Hi Marisa, thanks so much hope you enjoy it. I don’t think I am doing anything different!?
