Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 3 medium potatoes (sliced thinly)
• 2 medium carrots (sliced into sticks)
• 1 medium onion (sliced into rings)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 teaspoons butter
• 4 sheets aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each big enough to wrap a pork chop and vegetables in a secure bundle.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, carrots, and onions. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Place one pork chop in the center of each foil sheet. Season each pork chop with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Divide the seasoned vegetable mixture evenly among the 4 foil sheets, arranging them on top and around each pork chop.

Step 6

Top each bundle with 1 teaspoon of butter for added richness.

Step 7

Fold the foil sheets around the pork chops and vegetables to create sealed packets. Make sure they are tightly sealed but leave a little space inside for steam to circulate.

Step 8

Transfer the packets to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 35 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Carefully remove the bundles from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

To serve, carefully open each foil packet to avoid steam burns and plate the pork chops and vegetables as desired.
