- 4 bone-in pork chops, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick1
- 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved1
- 16 ounces green beans, frozen1
- 2 tablespoons olive oil1
- 1 package dry ranch seasoning1
- 3 cloves garlic, minced1
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped1
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper1.
- Place the chops, potatoes, and green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil1.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ranch seasoning mix and garlic. Sprinkle over the pork and vegetables1.
- Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, rotating after 10 minutes until the thickest part reaches 145°F with a meat thermometer. Place under the broiler for a few minutes to add some color1.
- Sprinkle on the chopped parsley to garnish. Serve hot1.
- : Starting with a room-temperature chop is a great way to ensure that they cook perfectly. You can leave them on the counter for 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to ensure that the chop is not cold throughout1.
- : It is important to make sure that your pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Using a meat thermometer is a great idea when cooking with pork as you do not want to overcook it. Overcooked pork chops are tough and dry1.
- : Another thing to consider when cooking pork chops is the cut of meat you choose. This recipe uses boneless but can also work well with bone-in chops. A bone-in chop can provide substantial flavor as well as cooking more evenly. When testing the meat temperature just be sure to not touch the thermometer to the bone to ensure an accurate reading1.
- : Remember to let your chops rest for a few minutes before serving! You want to make sure all of that beautiful moisture and flavor stays inside your perfectly cooked pork chops1.
