A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy Parmesan-coated pork chops paired with perfectly roasted vegetables, delivering a comforting and flavorful meal in under 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 6–8 oz / 170–225 g each, about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 100 g)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (about 100 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup baby carrots or sliced regular carrots
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • Zest and juice of half a lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped herbs, about ½ teaspoon salt, and about ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix well.
  3. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Lightly brush or rub both sides with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Press each chop firmly into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly. Set aside on a plate.
  4. In a large bowl, toss zucchini slices, bell pepper strips, carrots, and onion wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using. Spread veggies evenly on one side of a sheet pan.
  5. Place coated pork chops on the other side of the sheet pan, ensuring they are not touching.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping pork chops halfway through, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and coating is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Drizzle lemon juice over pork and veggies and sprinkle lemon zest once out of the oven.
  8. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If veggies brown too quickly, tent pan loosely with foil midway. For thicker pork chops, add a few extra minutes to baking time but watch carefully to avoid drying out. For gluten-free, substitute panko with almond flour. For dairy-free, use nutritional yeast mixed with crushed nuts instead of Parmesan. Rest pork chops after baking to retain juices. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
