Who knew Sheet Pan Pork Chops could be so addictive? You can prep this recipe in 15 minutes, kick back, and relax while they cook, and be enjoying a deliciously healthy dinner in no time at all. And, the best part? Clean up is a cinch!
I really hope you liked my recent post, Better Than Takeout! 12 Healthy Sheet Pan Dinners for Busy Weeknights, because I’ve got another incredibly quick and easy sheet pan dinner recipe that I think you’re going to love.
These Sheet Pan Pork Chops were inspired by this month’s Recipe ReDux theme…
Sheet Pan Meals
We love throwing ingredients together on a sheet pan and roasting for a simple sheet pan dinner. They make busy weeknights a bit more manageable. (And clean-up isn’t bad either!) Show us your healthy take on a sheet pan meal.
I apologize for the photos in advance…
I prepped these sheet pan park chops up last night in less than 15 minutes (which includes photo taking time!), but I started a wee bit late, and the sun had already set by the time I pulled them out of the oven.
I tried to “brighten” them up with a little help from my i phone filters, but….
Anyhoo, they are insanely delicious, and Mr. Spicy, Big Tex, and I gobbled them right up.
Quick side note, if you’re not into pork chops, you could easily make these with chicken, salmon, or even “cauliflower steaks” for a vegan version. I’m pretty sure they key to making these sheet pan pork chops so delicious, is the 2-ingredient maple Dijon sauce, plus the roasted sweet onions and apples~I could eat them on their own, they’re so delicious!
Photos and sauce aside, if you’re in to quick and easy dinners these days, that are not only healthy, but require almost effortless clean-up, you’ll want to add these Sheet Pan Pork Chops to your weekly meal plan.
Just make ’em!
You’ll be so glad you did!
Sheet Pan Pork Chops w/ Apples, Green Beans, & Maple Dijon
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 apples, sliced
- 1 small sweet onion, or 1/2 large onion, sliced
- 1/2 pound green beans, end trimmed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus additional to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage, plus additional sage leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Use a whisk or fork to combine maple syrup and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl, and set aside.
- Slice apples and onions, and trim ends off green beans, then lay them out on the sheet pan. Pour olive oil on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use clean hand to toss apples, onion, and green beans together, then spread them out on the pan in a single layer.
- Place pork chops on sheet pan with apples and veggies. Brush maple Dijon glaze on top of pork chops, then turn them over, and brush the other sides. Sprinkle ground black pepper on top of pork chops if desired.
- Place sheet pan in oven, and bake for 25 minutes, or longer if needed.
- Chop sage while pork chops are cooking, and set aside.
- Check pork chops with a meat thermometer to see if done {the internal temperature should be 145 degrees F}. If done, remove pan from oven, and allow pork 3 minutes to “rest” before serving.
- Serve 1 pork chop with 1/4 of the apples, onions, green beans, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped sage per plate. Enjoy!
Notes
- Low FODMAP-Omit onions & apples. Sub w/ any combo of low FODMAP veggies such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots, Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, eggplant, fennel, parsnips, or zucchini.
- Vegetarian or Vegan-Omit pork chops and substitute with “cauliflower steaks”, tofu, or chickpeas.
- We enjoyed this w/ polenta with goat cheese, but you could serve the sheet pan pork chops with mashed potatoes, rice, or quinoa.
- Fo a lower carb version, serve with cauliflower rice, or a green salad.
