Method
 

Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the Roasted Veggies
  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with 2 tbsp of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread the vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Season the Pork Chops
  1. While the vegetables are roasting, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub both sides of each pork chop with minced garlic, fresh parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil and let the pork sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sear the Pork Chops
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until they’re golden brown.
  3. If using, add the butter to the skillet and baste the pork chops with the melted butter for extra flavor.
  4. Transfer the skillet with the pork chops to the oven (or place them on the baking sheet with the veggies) and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve
  1. Serve the Garlic Herb Pork Chops alongside the roasted veggies.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes/Advice:

  • Additions/Subtractions:
    • Feel free to swap out the vegetables based on what you have on hand—broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes would also work well.
    • For extra juicy pork chops, let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
    • If you prefer a more buttery finish, you can add a pat of butter on top of each pork chop while they’re resting.
