The best sheet pan pork chops!
Nothing goes better with pork chops than apples. Except maybe Brussels sprouts. Oh, and sweet red onions. And olive oil and lemon juice, too. Don’t forget some nice aged balsamic vinegar.
What the heck, let’s just throw it all on a sheet pan and call it a fab sheet pan pork chop supper!
Ingredients
- Bone-in pork chops: My favorite pork chops to use are bone-in and about 1-inch thick because they don’t dry out easily in the oven like boneless pork chops. Make sure the pork chops aren’t too thick or too thin so everything will cook at the same time in the sheet pan dinner.
- Brussels sprouts: Feel free to substitute your favorite seasonal vegetable like green beans or broccoli.
- Fuji apple
- Red onion
- Garlic
- Fresh sage
- Lemon juice
- Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Aged balsamic vinegar
- Minced Italian parsley (optional topping)
How to make Sheet Pan Pork Chops
Set the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, make the marinade by combining extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sage, garlic, and salt.
Mix well.
Throw in the pork chops…
…and coat them well.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil, and place pork chops on the pan. (If you leave off the parchment, the ingredients will brown better BUT cleanup is harder.)
Toss the apple wedges, Brussels sprouts, and onion into the bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt.
Spread the veggies in an even layer around the pork chops.
Grind some pepper on top.
Make sure everything’s in a single layer…
…and roast for 12 minutes or until the chops are just cooked through (Check with a meat thermometer that the pork chop is at least 145°F in the thickest parts).
Crank the heat to broil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the pork and veggies are browned.
Drizzle on some balsamic vinegar, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve!
What do you serve with it?
You really don’t to serve this sheet pan dinner with anything else because there’s meat and veggies already in it! If you do want an extra veggie side dish, I recommend my Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
How do you save leftovers?
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can this be made with lamb shoulder chops instead of pork?
I haven’t tried it but I bet you can!
