Sheet Pan Baked Parmesan Pork Chops Potatoes & Asparagus recipe
Description
The Sheet Pan Baked Parmesan Pork Chops Potatoes & Asparagus recipe combines boneless pork chops with a crunchy crust made from parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and black pepper. The pork chops are rubbed with olive oil and topped with this mixture before baking. Red potatoes are cut into chunks and roasted on the same pan, coated in olive oil for a tender, roasted texture. Asparagus spears are added midway in the cooking process to retain their bright green color and slight crispness. Baking at 350°F allows the pork chops to cook gently while the cheese crust becomes golden. This dish offers a contrast between the soft potatoes, crunchy pork crust, and crisp asparagus. It works well as a straightforward family dinner with minimal prep and cleanup. Avoid using thin pork chops here as they can dry out; thicker chops about half an inch thick suit this recipe best.
Serve these pork chops directly from the sheet pan alongside the roasted vegetables. The combination covers protein, starch, and greens in one pan, simplifying meal planning. The garlic and parmesan crust adds flavor without needing additional sauces.
Note that the asparagus is added after the potatoes have cooked for a while to prevent overcooking. Also, using pork chops weighing about one pound total ensures even cooking. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of ingredients after baking.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. red potatoes halved or quartered depending on their initial size, baby, cut into 1x1 inch chunks
- 3 tbsp. olive oil divided
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper ground
- 4 pork chops boneless, 1/2 inch thick, 1 pound total
- 1 lb. asparagus not too thick, spears
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use your hands to mix the potatoes around in the oil until they are all completely covered. Push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet.
- In a shallow dish or plate, add the parmesan, panko, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Place the pork chops on the open side of the baking sheet. Brush the top of the pork chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spoon half of the parmesan mixture evenly over the pork chops. Lightly press the parmesan mixture down onto the pork chops making a crust. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Trim the tough woody ends off of the asparagus spears (I typically take off 1 to 1 1/2 inches).
- Use a spatula to give the potatoes a stir and to make room on the baking sheet for the asparagus.
- Add the asparagus spears to the open area of the baking sheet. Drizzle the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use a brush to ensure the asparagus is well coated in oil. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan mixture evenly over the potatoes and asparagus. Cook for 20 minutes.
Notes
- Use boneless pork chops about 1/2 inch thick to avoid dryness.
- Trim about 1 to 1 1/2 inches off woody asparagus ends before roasting.
- Apply parmesan mixture evenly and press lightly onto pork chops for a crisp crust.
- Drizzle olive oil over vegetables to help them roast evenly and develop color.
- Use cooking spray on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
