Ingredients
Scale
Pork Chops
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Honey Butter Glaze
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the pork chops and potatoes evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place Pork Chops: Arrange the bone-in pork chops evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Oil Pork Chops: Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pork chops, coating both sides thoroughly for moisture and browning.
- Season Pork Chops: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
- Rub Seasoning: Use your hands to gently rub the seasonings into the pork chops to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly around the pork chops on the baking sheet.
- Season Potatoes: Drizzle a little olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add Rosemary: Finely chop fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over both the potatoes and pork chops for an aromatic touch.
- Roast in Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Make Honey Butter Glaze: While roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the honey until fully combined.
- Remove from Oven: After roasting, take the baking sheet out of the oven carefully.
- Glaze Pork Chops: Brush the honey butter mixture over the cooked pork chops for a sweet and savory finish.
- Serve: Plate the pork chops alongside the roasted potatoes, making sure to include some rosemary and seasoned potatoes with each serving.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Potatoes can be swapped with sweet potatoes or other root vegetables if desired.
- For even cooking, try to cut potatoes into uniform sizes.
- Adjust honey butter glaze quantity according to taste preference.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after baking to retain juices.
