Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place on an ungreased, rimmed sheet pan.
Put the onion, red pepper, garlic, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper; toss. Transfer the vegetables in a single layer onto the sheet pan with the pork chops. Then sprinkle with basil and oregano over both the pork chops and vegetables.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred internal temperature. Remove the chops to a platter and return the sheet pan to the oven. Broil the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized. Layer the vegetables onto a serving platter with the pork chops and serve.
Notes
Pork Chops: Use bone-in pork chops for the juiciest results, and adjust the cooking time based on their thickness.
Doneness: The USDA recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F, followed by a short rest. If you prefer your pork more well done, continue cooking to your taste.
Sheet Pan: For even roasting, spread the vegetables into as much of a single layer as possible on the sheet pan.
Finishing: After removing the pork chops, broil the vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes for extra caramelization and color.
Variations: This recipe is flexible, so feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables like asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or butternut squash as needed.
