Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 medium Carrots
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 cups Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 3

Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil onto the pork chops, then evenly coat both sides with the spice mixture. Set aside.

Step 4

Wash and cut the carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and baby potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, then toss well to coat evenly.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned vegetables onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer.

Step 7

Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the seared pork chops onto the baking sheet with the vegetables.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
